Anal fissure is common cause of anal pain. Exact etiology of anal fissure is not known, but it is commonly seen due to constipation and hypertonic anal sphincteric conditions. Studies on the method of treatment of chronic anal fissure ranges from medical application to surgery. We have study of 100 cases of fissure in Ano for comparing in between treatment options of anal dilatation (AD) and lateral anal sphincterotomy (LAS). Patients were divided in two groups by randomly. Our results shows that in pain subside in 40 pts out of 45 pts in AD group, 38 pts out of 44 pts in LAS group, bleeding subsides in all 39 pts out of AD group, 35 pts out of 39 pts in LAS group. Complete recovery was seen in 46 pts out of 50 in AD group and 45 pts out of 50 pts in LAS group. In our study it has been shown that all the patients after anal dilatation significantly reduces the anal pain and provide symptomatic relief that is slightly better than lateral anal sphincterotomy.
