The classic treatment for uncomplicated anal fissure is surgical sphincterotomy, i.e. cutting of the internal anal sphincter, thus eliminating spasm of this muscle and breaking the vicious circle of pain, spasm and inflammation. Recently, however, botulinum toxin has become available for the treatment of muscular dystonias, and thus for anal fissure. In the present study, we investigated the effectiveness of treatment with botulinum toxin in 76 patients with uncomplicated anal fissure.
