Modified LIFT is an enhanced version of the standard LIFT (Ligation of Intersphincteric Fistula Tract) procedure, designed to improve success rates in complex and recurrent anal fistulas.
Performed by Dr. Naveen Patidar, this advanced sphincter-sparing technique involves refined dissection methods, better identification of the intersphincteric tract, secure ligation, and sometimes additional steps like curettage, tract closure, or adjunct laser use when required.
Modified LIFT is particularly beneficial when the tract anatomy is challenging, scarred from prior surgeries, or when standard LIFT alone may not provide optimal results. The technique focuses strongly on continence preservation, minimal post-operative discomfort, and long-term healing.
Fistula Types Suitable for Modified LIFT
Ideal where tract passes through large sphincter segments
Effective after failure of previous fistulotomy/LIFT/seton
When fibrosis makes standard LIFT challenging
Suitable when fistulotomy risks incontinence
Special handling for difficult or hidden intersphincteric tracts
