Abstract：
:BACKGROUND: Several surgical methods are accepted for the treatment of chronic anal fissure. The most popular are anal dilatation (AD) and left lateral sphincterotomy (LLS). The objective of the current study was to prospectively evaluate the results of these two procedures in terms of recurrence rate, complications and patient satisfaction. METHODS: The study enrolled all patients who required operation for chronic anal fissure in the Division of General Surgery, Campus Golda, Rabin Medical Center, between the years 1997 and 2001. Exclusion criteria were acute anal fissure or inflammatory bowel disease. RESULTS: A total of 108 patients participated in the study, at an average age of 42.4 years (SD=12.5). The patients were randomly assigned to two groups; one for LLS (53 patients, 49.1%) and one for AD (55 patients, 50.9%). The study protocol included a questionnaire and a physical examination performed 1, 2, 3, 6 and 12 months after operation. The questionnaire contained questions about pain, bloody stool, incontinence for gas, fluid or hard feces, during the day or night, and soiling. The patients were also asked about their satisfaction on an analog scale from 1 to 10. The average follow-up was 11.2 months (SD=4.1). Minor incontinence occurred in 8 patients of AD group and in 2 patients of LLS group (p<0.005). Recurrence occurred in 6 cases of the AD group and in one case of the LLS group (p<0.003). Satisfaction score was insignificantly higher in the LLS group (9.1+/-0.8 in the LLS group and 7.4+/-2.0 in the AD group). CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that LLS is the preferred method for the treatment for chronic anal fissure.
