Formerly in Japan, the treatment of anal diseases was performed with techniques transmitted from Asian countries such as China and Korea using herbs, necrotizing agents, ligation, seton, and other methods. Before World War II, western medicine and techniques were brought in from Germany, including Whitehead's operation. After the war, new knowledge was introduced from the United Kingdom and the United States: ligation and excision for hemorrhoids, sphincter-preserving methods such as Hanley's and Parks' for fistulas, and sliding skin graft methods such as Carmels' for anal fissure. After their introduction, those methods were revised and improved in Japan. Unfortunately, however, the results of those improvements were not introduced to other countries in medical journals or in presentations at international conferences. At this time, I am honored to give an overview of proctology in Japan for this special Japanese issue.
过去在日本，肛门疾病的治疗采用从中国和韩国等亚洲国家传来的技术，使用草药、坏死剂、结扎、挂线及其他方法。二战前，西医和技术从德国传入，包括怀特黑德手术。战后，新知识从英国和美国引入：痔疮的结扎和切除术、肛瘘的保留括约肌方法如汉利法和帕克斯法，以及肛裂的滑动皮片移植法如卡梅尔法。这些方法引入后，在日本得到了修订和改进。然而，遗憾的是，这些改进的结果并未在医学期刊上或国际会议的报告中介绍给其他国家。此时，我很荣幸为这个特别的日本专刊概述日本的直肠病学。
