Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of botulinum toxin injections alone versus injections combined with glyceryl trinitrate for treating anal fissures, specifically looking at postoperative pain and healing outcomes.
- Conducted over one year with 88 adult patients, the study found that those who received botulinum toxin plus glyceryl trinitrate experienced significantly less pain and better healing compared to those who received only the toxin.
- The results suggest that combining botulinum toxin with glyceryl trinitrate may be a more effective first-line treatment option for chronic anal fissures in patients avoiding surgery or with a history of sphincter surgery.
