Abstract
Anal stricture is one of the late complications of haemorrhoidectomy, and occurs particularly when the perianal skin has been widely excised . Many patients respond to an initial trial of daily regular dilatatio n with anal dilators. In some, this conservative treatment is not effe ctive and surgical correction is warranted. This paper reports success ful anoplasty using a double Y-V plasty in two such patients.
