Aim of the study was to compare and evaluate the outcome of fistulotomy and fistulectomy technique in treatment of low fistula in ano. Material and Method: This prospective study was conducted in department of surgery Index Medical College Hospital and research centre, indore from June ' 14 to July '16. This study included 75 patients of low fistula in ano admitted during the study period .out of these 38 patients underwent fistulotomy (group A ) and 37 patients underwent fistulectomy (group B). The two techniques were compared in terms of healing time, post operative pain, hospital stay, complication, recurrence and outcome. Result: The average age of study group was 45.2 years with male: female ratio 7.3:1. post operative pain was 2.16 ± 1.02 days for group A (fistulotomy) and 5.95 ± 3.00 days for group B (fistulectomy). 4(Four) patients of group A (10.52%) had wound infection while 15 patients of group B (40.52%) had wound infection. post operative wounds in group A healed earlier in comparision to group B wounds (28.55 ± 5.717 vs 48.54 ± 12.43 days , P = 0.0001).The mean hospital stay of group A was 2.86 ± 1.78 days , while for group B was 4.32 ± 2.22 days .No incidence of anal incontinence in both groups. Recurrence developed in 2 patients out of 38 (5.3%) of fistulotomy and 7 patients out of 37 (18.9%) following fistulectomy. Conclusion: Fistulotomy can be recommended as a standard surgical procedure in the treatment of low anal fistula for the merits of early wound healing, less post operative pain, lower rates of wound infection, early hospital discharge and lesser incidence of recurrence in comparison to that of fistulectomy.
