Abstract
The results of anocutaneous advancement flap repair in patients with no or only one previous attempt at repair are moderate. In patients who have undergone two or more previous attempts at repair the outcome is poor. Based on the relatively low healing rate and deterioration of continence, this procedure seems less suitable for high transsphincteric fistulas than transanal mucosal advancement flap repair.
