Anal fissure remains one of the most common proctologic problems. A number of reports have advocated the use of partial internal sphincterotomy as a treatment of chronic anal fissure. Our study shows the results of a retrospective analysis of our patients who underwent lateral internal sphincterotomy for the treatment of chronic anal fissure. To determine long time results we examined random sample of 75 operated patients. Apart from taking careful history and patientÕs assessment of the operation effect, the patients were investigated ãper rectumÒ, and even possibly rectoscopically. To asscertain suitability and also security of properly done internal sphincterotomy, we performed anorectal manometric examinations in 53 patients controlled. To conclude our results, we can state that in 9 (12%) patients controlled some subjective complaints or certain pathologic findings connected with anal fissure or sphincterotomy were found. None of the people from the set of ours suffered from any complaints, which can be taken as stool incontinency. In no patients any change in pressure measured by anorectal manometry indicating incontinency was proved.

Background: Fissure-in-ano is one of the common and most painful anorectal conditions encountered in surgical practice. Inspite of several conservative treatment options, surgical treatment in the form of lateral anal sphincterotomy remains the gold standard of treatment for chronic anal fissure, however it is associated with the significant rate of incontinence. This study reviews using a tailored lateral sphincterotomy by selecting the height of internal sphincter to be divided with aim of preserving more sphincter and hence reducing the incontinence rates.Methods: The study was carried out in 50 patients who were diagnosed clinically as chronic anal fissure attending Surgery department of ESIC medical college and hospital, Kalburagi over a period of 6 months from January 2019 to August 2019. Tailored left lateral internal sphincterotomy was performed in all patients. The date was recorded and analysed. Early post-operative follow-up was maintained every week for four weeks or till the fissure healed. Complications mainly incontinence rate was assessed.Results: Common age group was third and fourth decade of life. Pain (100%) was the commonest symptom. Majority of the patients (96%) had posterior fissure. Postoperatively about 97% patients had complete pain relief. Only one patient (2%) in the study reported incontinence to flatus during the first follow-up visit and had minor incontinence and other minimal complications were found.Conclusions: Tailored lateral anal internal sphincterotomy is safe and effective surgical procedure for the management for chronic anal fissure with lower rate of incontinence rate compared to gold standard lateral internal sphincterotomy.

Objective of this study is to provide best therapy in terms of hospital stay and post operative complications after closed lateral internal sphincterotomy under local anaesthesia in the treatment of chronic anal fissure. It is descriptive type of study carried out at Nishtar Hospital Multan, from February 2001 to April 2001. Thirty patients underwent closed lateral internal sphicterotomy in local anaesthesia in OPD. Internal anal sphincter divided up to dentate line by introducing no.11 surgical blade in the intersphicteric groove. Pts were allowed to go home just after the surgery. Follow up for complications was done for the period of 6months. Mean postoperative stay was for 12 minutes. Postoperative complications were soiling (6.6%), incontinence to flatus (3.3%) and recurrence (3.3%). CLIS can be done safely under local anesthesia in OPD with low complication rate and less postop period of stay.

Background: Lateral internal sphincterotomy is regarded as the gold standard surgical treatment for chronic anal fissure. Some authors reported that the closed technique had lower complication rates than that by the open technique, but others reported that both of the techniques had no meaningful differences in complications.Methods: This was a comparative and cohort study carried out at Department of Colorectal Surgery, Combined Military Hospital (CMH) Dhaka, Bangladesh, from October 2013 to October 2017. Eighty three patients with chronic anal fissure not responding to medical treatment for at least three months were included in this study to compare the results of the open versus closed techniques of lateral internal sphincterotomy after four months follow up postoperatively.Results: The mean age at presentation was 34.15±11.4 years and the male to female ratio was 1.24:1. The results of open and closed techniques were compared regarding per-operative bleeding (35.71% versus 12.19%), post-operative urinary retention (4.76% versus 0%), symptom relief on first post-operative day (76.19% versus 70.73%), significant 1st post-operative day pain in the operated wound (33.33% versus 7.31%), temporary fecal soiling (2.38% versus 0%), temporary flatus incontinence (7.14% versus 0%), and fissure recurrence (0% versus 14.63%) respectively. Temporary incontinence to fecal and flatus recovered by conservative management within two and four months of surgery respectively.Conclusion: The closed technique of lateral internal sphincterotomy had lower post-operative complications, pain, bleeding, and incontinence compared to open technique, but increased risk of fissure recurrence.Birdem Med J 2018; 8(3): 235-239
