    Objective: To assess the results of LIFT technique for treatment of the patients complaining from fistula in ano. Material & Method: A prospective study for 30 patients with fistula in ano treated by LIFT techniquefrom August 2014 to January 2016. Postoperative assessment included presence of recurrence, fecal incontinence and surgical complications.

The patients had a range of age from 25 to 55 years, 6 of the patients had recurrent fistula in ano and 24 were newly diagnosed. Patients were treated by LIFT technique and followed up for 6 months. Successful healing was achieved in 28 patients (93.4%) with no recurrence, 2patients (6.6%) had recurrence at the follow-up. No incontinence or bleeding was observed in any of the patients.
