However, the risk of selection bias inherent in the included retrospective and uncontrolled studies should be understood for correct interpretation of the results. Furthermore, although a clear publication bias has not been observed, the number of studies that present the results according to the location of the fistula is small; therefore, the sample size could yield a type II error.</p><p id="par0090" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The idea of the intersphincteric approach is not new and is a consequence of the cryptoglandular theory of most anal fistulas. In 1993, Matos et al. published a series of 13 cases (8 high transsphincteric fistulas and 5 suprasphincteric) with success in 7/13 (54%) and a mean follow-up of 22 months (4–33).<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> Despite not being widely utilized, in 2007 Rojanasakul took up the idea again and described a modified technique, the LIFT procedure.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a></p><p id="par0095" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Very few studies have analyzed the location factor in the LIFT procedure.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5–7</span></a> The Cleveland group, in a study of 107 LIFT procedures, presented an overall success rate of 55%, but only 35% in the posterior location (OR 3.9; <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">P</span> = .004). Their hypothesis is based on the greater complexity of the technique due to the depth of the path at this level, its greater caliber and the possible involvement of the deep postanal space.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a> Placer et al. did not obtain any cure in 5 complex posterior fistulas (1 suprasphincteric and 4 high transsphincteric). In 2 cases, the anal canal mucosa was injured during dissection.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> This is a poorly described lesion, but it is the cause of poor results after dissection of a deep fistulous tract or with fibrosis in the intersphincteric space.</p><p id="par0100" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Intersphincteric ligation requires the absence of active infection in this area, the presence of a mature tract (fibrous or consistent), and the absence of secondary tracts. In posterior fistulas, the path is usually larger and deeper in the anal canal. This can make the ligation technique difficult and increase the risk of injury to the anal mucosa during dissection. However, the posterior location has not been associated with worse results in anal fistula surgery, despite it being well known that most complex fistulas have a posterior origin, and this may represent a significant bias if not included in a multivariate analysis. One recent study on the epidemiology of transsphincteric fistulas, with a series of 300 patients, showed that 82.5% of high transsphincteric fistulas were posterior, with an OR of 8.5 (95%CI 4.17–17.48) in the multivariate analysis.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0090"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span></a> Also, the presence of abscesses in posterior fistulas has been reported in 47% versus 5% in anterior fistulas.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0085"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span></a> Several reviews on recurrences in anal fistula surgery have not addressed the location as a risk factor, and almost all have focused on the Goligher classification as the main variable, attributing to the higher forms (supra- and high transsphincteric) a higher percentage of recurrence/persistence.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0095"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">19–21</span></a> In a recent meta-analysis on risk factors for recurrence, Mei et al. did not identify location as a risk factor for recurrence/persistence.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0110"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">22</span></a> In the studies included in this review, it is striking that only 37% of the fistulas were located posterior, which may lead to a selection bias and ultimately less use of the LIFT procedure in posterior fistulas.</p><p id="par0105" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The main weakness of this study is that it is based on retrospective observational studies that have not been designed for this purpose. In addition, as they are no prospective studies, the circumstance of abandoned procedures may occur due to the impossibility of performing proper ligation of the fistulous tract cause by the complexity; therefore, these have not been included in the studies. It would be very interesting for future studies on the LIFT procedure to present their results analyzing the location of the fistula and have an adequate sample size to draw consistent conclusions.</p><p id="par0110" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">However, the thorough bibliographic search and the inclusion/exclusion criteria have allowed us to obtain a representative sample of studies.
