The fear of recurrence or impairment of continence following an operation of fistula in ano had compelled the surgeons to explore use of a variety of diagnostic aids to identify the offending tracts and an equal number of surgical procedures to reduce these risk factors. But despite all these attempts and trying a number of operative options, majority of surgeons still prefer the classical lay open technique[fistulotomy] as the gold standard of treatment in anal fistula. We present this study of using a radiofrequency device that helps perform fistulotomy in low transphincteric and intersphincteric anal fistula in a better way.
