Abstract
Anal skin tags are a common finding. They are found in one-third of patients with bening anal disorders. We describe a simple method of anal skin tag removal during stapled anopexy. This involves utilizing the circular anal dilator provided with the stapling kit. Skin tags are brought through the perforations of the circular anal dilator of the stapling kit. The skin tags are removed by cautery. Minimal pain has been noticed in patients under going this procedure. Anal skin tags can be removed in a simple manner using components provided with the stapling kit. We decribe a simple method of anal skin tag removal during stapled anopexy. This involves utilizing the circular anal dilator provided with the stapling kit.
