Anal stenosis is a fibrous narrowing of the anal channel. It develops, in most cases, in the aftermath of proctologic sur- gical procedures with extensive anoderm excision or in the presence of chronic anal inflammation in patients with Crohn Disease. However rare, this condition is thoroughly debilitating for the patients. Symptoms include constipation, pain and bleeding with defecation and a reduction of the caliber of stools. Diagnosis is essentially clinical. Prevention of post- surgical stenosis is based on a scrupulous surgical technique and on an extensive and carefully- planned follow up. Treatment is based on an initially conservative approach with regularization of stool transit through hydration, dietary fibers and bulk-forming laxatives. The role of mechanical dilatation in the treatment of AS is still debated. For severe cases and cases that are not responsive to conservative treatment we must resort to surgery. Surgical approach is tailored on the severity, position and extension. The most severe cases require anoplasty procedures with mucosal or anal flaps.
