Cutaneous Flap Reconstruction In Anal Stenosis
Main Article Content
Abstract
Anal stenosis is a rare but impactful condition that can arise from various aetiologies, including
surgical trauma, inflammatory bowel disease, radiation therapy, and congenital malformations.
Treatment approaches vary based on severity, with surgical intervention often required for
moderate to severe cases ( 1). This case report presents a 52-year-old Chinese male who developed
severe anal stenosis following multiple perineal debridement procedures for a perineal abscess. A
House advancement flap and a Bipedicle flap were used to reconstruct the anal canal, leading to
significant symptomatic relief and functional improvement. This report highlights the importance
of flap-based reconstruction in managing complex anal stenosis cases (2)
