Abstract
A prospective study comparing open and subcutaneous lateral internal sphincterotomy for chronic anal fissure was conducted. One hundred twelve patients were randomized to open (n=54) or subcutaneous (n=58) sphincterotomy. There was no significant difference in acute complications between the subcutaneous (8.6 percent) and open (7.4 percent) groups. Postoperative length of stay was significantly shorter for the subcutaneous group (1.7±0.2 days) than for the open group (2.3±0.1 days;PKeywords
