Abstract

Background: In addition to the gold standard lateral sphincterotomy method, several non-surgical treatments are also
used to treat chronic anal fissures. This was carried out in order to enhance technique and remove the surgical approach,
enabling conservative procedure.
Aim: The purpose of the current study was to evaluate various therapeutic approaches for the treatment of chronic anal
fissures and to determine whether there was a relationship between the treatment's reduction in sphincter pressure and
discomfort.
