Abstract

Anal fissure is a painful lesion involving Anal canal. Most of them subside spontaneously. Some Acute anal fissures become chronic and will not heal. Chronic fissure is treated usually by dilatation of anus and lateral sphincterotomy. Both surgical procedures may cause some degree of incontinence in some patients. Recent studies have shown that Local Glyceryl trinitrate can reduce Sphincter pressure and more than 80% Fissures heal.
