Intra-anal treatment of moderate to severe pain associated with chronic anal fissure.

Chronic anal fissure is thought to be related to sustained high resting anal sphincter tone and associated anodermal ischemia. Lateral internal sphincterotomy generally has been used to treat anal fissures that do not respond to conservative therapy (e.g., sitz baths, increased dietary fiber); however, minor incontinence, which may be persistent, may develop after surgery. Botulinum toxin type A injections or topical therapy with nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin rectal ointment) or calcium-channel blocking agents (e.g., diltiazem gel, not commercially available in US) has been used to reduce anal sphincter tone and circumvent potential complications of surgery.
