Tratamientos terapéutica de la fisura anal crónica

“Open” or “closed” lateral internal sphincterotomy performed in the ambulatory setting with local anesthesia can currently be considered the ideal treatment of chronic anal fissure refractory to conservative measures so long as the patient is informed about the risk of minor incontinence. This procedure provides rapid and permanent recovery in more than 95% of patients. There is evidence demonstrating that the incontinence rate is related to the extent of the lateral internal sphincterotomy and consequently the extent of this procedure should be reduced to the length of the fissure.
