Description: All patients were discharged with analgesics and stool softeners and received oral ofloxacin and metronidazole for 1 week. Before being discharged, the patients were shown how to clean their wound and were advised to take topical antibiotic ointment. After hospital discharge, patients were seen 2 week after the initial procedure. The second consultation was 2 weeks after the first visit and the third visit will be after 6 month from the operation and the fourth visit will be after one year from the operation .At each visit the patient was interviewed for clinical continence status. The intersphincteric incision wound was examined, the sites of the previous internal and external openings were palpated and sphincter tone was assessed. After healing, the patient was asked to return should any recurrent pain, swelling or discharge occur. All patients with a documented healed fistula were also contacted by telephone at the time of the present study to enquire of possible recurrence.
