Details  Patients aged 18 years or older and scheduled to undergo perianal surgery for fistula in ano, haemorrhoids and fissure in ano.
 
 
ExclusionCriteria 
Details  Patients with contraindications to any of the two positions and failed to understand or sign the informed consent.
 
 
Method of Generating Random Sequence   Computer generated randomization

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1.Local Experienced Discomfort (LED) scale- physical stress
2.Subjective Mental Effort Questionnaire (SMEQ) - mental stress
3.Exposer of operative site will be measured in a scale of 1-5

 
At the end of the Surgery Outcome will be measured.

 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Duration of surgery, procedure and position related complications and change in position will be noted separately for different type of surgeries.
Comfort level of patients will also be noted using LED scale if operated under local anaesthesia.
We will also document the number of patients who could not be included in the study due to contraindications to either of the positions.

Brief Summary  
Perianal surgeries like hemorrhoids,fistula in ano,fissure in ano and anorectal abscess are operated mostly in lithotomy position.In our experience lithotomy position is uncomfortable to both the patients,surgeon and the assistant with regard to awkward position of the patient with limited exposer and poor ergonomics to the surgeon and assistant.Constant soiling of the operative field with blood during dissection and poor exposer due to bulky gluteal muscle.The surgeon has to bend and assistants have to twist and bend their body to properly handle the operative site.This poor ergonomics theoretically affects both the performance and physical health of the surgeon and assistant.In contrast prone position with leg split and buttocks kept apart by elastic tape provide excellent exposer,better ergonomics and under-vision exchange of instruments.Another theoretical advantage is pooling of blood away from operative field.The literature is sparse regarding advantages of these positions over each other. No guidelines exists regarding preference of position based on anatomical location of perianal pathology.Both positions have never been compared earlier with regard to surgeon comfort,patient comfort,ergonomics and position related complications.
