Abstract
PURPOSE:Operative techniques commonly used for fissure-in-ano include anal stretch, open lateral sphincterotomy, closed lateral sphincterotomy, posterior midline sphincterotomy, and to a lesser extent dermal flap coverage of the fissure. Reports of direct comparisons among these techniques aKeywords
