Anoplasty

Anoplasty involves reconstruction of the anus and is most often performed to correct anal stenosis, which is a narrowing of the anal canal that causes painful bowel movements.

• General anesthesia is typically used
• Procedure involves stretching or enlarging the opening where stool drains
• May include the use of skin flaps as part of the reconstruction
• Surgery may include closing of fistulas (small tube-like openings)
• Procedure restores normal functioning of the anus
