Introduction: Although lateral internal sphincterotomy (LIS) is the most preferred surgical treatment for chronic anal fissure, In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of preoperative anorectal manometry on surgical treatment choice in patients presenting with anal fissure.
Material And Methods: Between January-2015 and August-2017 and whose physical examination revealed chronic anal fissure findings were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups as Group 1 LIS and Group 2 non-LIS. In addition to the demographic characteristics of the patients, anal manometry findings and its effect on surgical treatment options were examined.
Results: 20 patients (M/F:13/7) were included in the study. The mean age was 48.3+17.4 in Group 1 and 45.25 +24.45 in Group 2 (p:0.797). In the preoperative manometric examination, resting pressure(mmHg) range was 93.2+15.9 in Group 1, and44+11.2 in Group 2 (30-57) (p:0.001). Endurance to squeezing time was shorter in Group 2 (p:0.0138). There were no differences between the groups in terms of mean squeezing pressure, rectal sensation, and rectoanal inhibitor reflex (p>0.05). Of the four patients with low sphincter pressures, 3 underwent botulinum toxin injection and 1 underwent advancement flap instead of LIS. There was no significant difference between preoperative and postoperative CCFI scores in the LIS group (0.6±1.8 vs. 1.2±1.85, p>0.05).
Conclusion: In the treatment of chronic anal fissure, non-LIS methods were selected in 20% of the patients with the help of preoperative anal manometric examination. Manometric examination is important to minimize the risk of incontinence and to determine the choice of treatment correctly.

Background: Perianal fistula is one of the complications of deepened anal fissure. The present case-control study aimed to assess the risk factors of fissure-associated fistulas due to the limited available evidence.
Methods: Patients with fissure-associated fistulas were considered as case, and patients with anal fissure who were undergoing medical treatment without any previous anorectal surgeries were considered as control group.

Introduction An anal fissure is marked by a longitudinal tear in the mucosal lining of the lower anal canal, causing painful defecation and mild anal bleeding. The classical triad includes an anal ulcer, a sentinel tag, and a hypertrophic papilla. This study investigates the frequency of fecal incontinence in patients with anal fissure undergoing closed internal sphincterotomy, offering recent insights for treatment recommendations.

Hemorrhoids, anal fissure, anal fistula and perianal abscess are the most common benign diseases around the anus, which obviously affect people's life and work, and need to be well diagnosed and treated. Based on damage control, the treatment principle is to eliminate relevant disease symptoms and protect the anal function at the same time. Perianal benign diseases are common and frequently occurring, which can be diagnosed and treated in many non-specialist hospitals.

Purpose: Anal fissures and anorectal fistulas are diseases often associated with significant pain and prolonged discomfort, resulting in a significantly reduced quality of life (QoL). They are not only a surgical problem but also have a profound psychosocial impact and influence on QoL. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of depression in patients with these pathologies and to highlight the need to address the psychosocial aspects of these diseases.
