Abstract
To assess sphincter function in patients with anal fissure, anal manometry was performed in 10 patients. Anal resting pressure was increased, but both sphincters functioned normally. The increased anal resting pressure was neither due to internal nor to external sphincter spasm.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
