Abstract :

In this study we compared the results of anal dialataton under general anaesthesia and topical application of 0.2 % glyceryl trinitrate ointment for the management of fissure in ano. 50 patients diagnosed with anal fissure were divided in two groups randomly. First group was treated with anal dialatation while second group was treated with 0.2% glyceryl trinitrate. Topical glyceryl trinitrate is a good alternative to the time tested anal dilatation for the treatment of fissure in ano.
