Современная колопроктология демонстрирует тенденцию к расширению применения минимально инвазивных вмешательств, особенно при лечении сложных свищей. Одной из наиболее успешных процедур является операция LIFT (Ligation of Intersphincteric Fistula Tract) – перевязка свищевого хода в межсфинктерном пространстве. Однако, по данным литературы, процент рецидивов при минимально инвазивных вмешательствах все еще остается достаточно высоким.</p></sec><sec><title>Цель</title><p>Цель. Изучить результаты и проанализировать семилетний опыт применения лигирования свищевого хода с дистализацией внутреннего отверстия, дополненного лазерной коагуляцией свищевого хода (LIFT-IOD + FiLaC – Ligation of Intersphincteric Fistula Tract and Internal Opening Distalization + Fistula Laser Closure).</p></sec><sec><title>Материалы и методы</title><p>Материалы и методы. Настоящее исследование является ретроспективным когортным исследованием, включившим пациентов, которым проводилось хирургическое лечение сложных транссфинктерных и экстрасфинктерных свищей криптогландулярной этиологии по модифицированной методике на базе хирургического отделения ЧУЗ КБ «РЖД-Медицина» города Ростова-на-Дону в период с 2018 по 2025 г. В исследование были включены 124 пациента. Проводился анализ частоты и характера послеоперационных осложнений, длительности госпитализации, приема анальгетиков, влияния оперативного вмешательства на функцию запирательного аппарата прямой кишки по данным сфинктеротонометрии и опросника Векснера, частоты рецидивов.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты.  Первичное заживление наблюдалось в 74,2% случаев. Среднее значение по шкале Векснера до операции составило 6,4 ± 2,3 балла, после операции – 6,7 ± 3,4 балла (p &gt; 0,05). По данным сфинктеротонометрии, среднее значение давления в покое до операции составило 66,1 ± 15,1 мм вод. ст., при волевом сокращении – 110,3 ± 23,5 мм вод. ст., после операции – 67,4 ± 12,5 мм вод. ст. и 108,7 ± 26,4 мм вод. ст. соответственно (p &gt; 0,05).</p></sec><sec><title>Выводы</title><p>Выводы. Выполнение модифицированной методики (LIFT-IOD + FiLaC) позволяет добиться высокой эффективности в лечении сложных транссфинктерных и экстрасфинктерных свищей при сохранении функции запирательного аппарата прямой кишки.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Introduction</title><p>Introduction. Modern coloproctology demonstrates a growing trend toward the use of minimally invasive procedures, particularly in the management of complex anal fistulas. One of the most widely adopted and effective sphincter-preserving techniques for anal fistulas is the LIFT (Ligation of Intersphincteric Fistula Tract) procedure. However, according to theliterature, recurrence rates after minimally invasive fistula surgery remain relatively high.</p></sec><sec><title>Aim</title><p>Aim. To evaluate the outcomes and analyze a seven-year clinical experience withligation of the fistula tract with internal opening distalization combined with laser fistula tract coagulation (LIFT-IOD + FiLaC – Ligation of Intersphincteric Fistula Tract and Internal Opening Distalization + Fistula Laser Closure) in the treatment of perianal fistulas.</p></sec><sec><title>Materials and methods</title><p>Materials and methods. This study was designed as a retrospective cohort analysis and included patients who underwent surgical treatment for complex transsphincteric and extrasphincteric fistulas of cryptoglandular origin using a modified technique at the surgical department of the Clinical Hospital “RZD-Medicine” in Rostov-on-Don between 2018 and 2025. A total of 124 patients with transsphincteric fistulas involving more than one-half of the anal sphincter circumference and extrasphincteric fistulas were included. The analysis included the incidence and nature of postoperative complications,length of hospital stay, postoperative analgesic requirements, the impact of surgery on anal continence function assessed by sphincterometry and the Wexner score, and recurrence rates.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. Primary healing was achieved in 74.2% of cases. The mean Wexner score before surgery was 6.4 ± 2.3 points, after surgery – 6.7 ± 3.4 points (p &gt; 0.05). According to sphincterotonometry, the mean resting pressure before surgery was 66.1 ± 15.1 mmH2O, with voluntary contraction 110.3 ± 23.5 mmH2O, after surgery – 67.4 ± 12.5 mmH2O and 108.7 ± 26.4 mmH2O, respectively (p &gt; 0.05).</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusions</title><p>Conclusions. The modified technique combining LIFT with internal opening distalization and laser fistula tract coagulation (LIFT-IOD + FiLaC) demonstrates high efficacy in the treatment of complex transsphincteric, and extrasphincteric fistulas while preserving anal continence function.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>перианальный свищ</kwd><kwd>анальный свищ</kwd><kwd>малоинвазивная хирургия</kwd><kwd>LIFT</kwd><kwd>FiLaC</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>rectal fistula</kwd><kwd>fistula-in-ano</kwd><kwd>minimally invasive surgery</kwd><kwd>LIFT</kwd><kwd>FiLaC</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Fuschillo G, Pata F, D'Ambrosio M, Selvaggi L, Pescatori M, Selvaggi F, Pellino G.
