Colorectal Dis. 2012 Aug;14(8):e506-7. doi: 10.1111/j.1463-1318.2012.03009.x.

Abstract

Aim: Reconstruction of a stenotic anal canal and repair of a stenotic perineal colostomy using a free graft foreskin.

Method: The use of free graft foreskin anoplasty was described by Freeman for the treatment of mucosal prolapse in pediatric patients. The original surgical technique was modified and employed in two adult patients for the reconstruction of the anal region.

Results: The graft, in both cases, took well with a satisfactory functional and morphological recovery of the anal canal.

Conclusion: Free graft foreskin anoplasty, has proved to be an effective solution to stenosis in the anal canal following major local surgery.
