Brief Summary:
Anal fissure (AF) is a painful tear extending from the anal canal to the dentate line. Although the exact pathophysiology is not known, an increase in anal tonus, decreased ano-dermal blood flow and local ischemia are possible mechanisms. The most effective treatment modality in chronic AF is lateral internal sphincterotomy however, incontinence rates are still reported as high as 8-30%. Topical diltiazem and botulinum toxin (BT) injection are good alternatives to surgery with lack of persistent side effects, easy applicability, and reproducibility, however, recurrence rates were reported up to 50% for each. A combination of BT with topical diltiazem may provide better results in terms of healing and recurrence. In this retrospective analysis a comparison of BT injection alone and BT injection combined with topical diltiazem treatment was performed.
