Average healing time was around 4-6 weeks. 1 fistula took around 8wks to heal as the patient had immunocompromised status. Conclusion: Results of standardized lift technique are impressive & this technique can be implemented widely for treatment of fistula in ano provided inclusion & exclusion criteria are strictly observed.
