In 2007, 72,5% of all surgeries of Coloproctology Departament were from anal procedures. Three years experience of the Medical post-graduation were resumed and analyzed in this study retrospectively. Total 455 patients were submitted to hemorrhoidectomy (40%), fistulectomies (20%) and fissurectomies (13%) and others like pilonidal disease, rectovaginal fistulas. In general, these pathologies are more prevalent in women (54%) from 30 to 50 years old. Hemorrhoids and fissure affected more women, while fistulas affected men. Milligan and Morgan's hemorrhoidectomy was realized in 53,7% of the cases with pain and bleeding patterns comparable to Ferguson technique. It had provided a bigger number of residual fissure and fecal incontinence. Stenosis was the same in both methods. Ferguson technique had lowest repair time, even with high tax of dehiscence. Fistula affects four times more men than women. In 65% of the cases, fistulectomy was the technique choice, with better results in terms of pain and bleeding and worse tax of incontinence. Seton was inserted in 14% of the cases, and it was used in average for 20 weeks, and after its withdrawal, 36% referred minor incontinence. The anal fissure showed preference to posterior place.
