Transmucosal internal sphincterotomy demonstrates significant advantages in treating fissure in ano compared to traditional methods. The procedure had a median operative time of 7 minutes, yielding a mere 2.5% infection rate and 3% transient incontinence rate. Postoperative pain was notably lower, with a majority of patients healing within 9 weeks and only 1.6% experiencing recurrence. This technique is particularly beneficial for less experienced surgeons, enhancing safety and patient outcomes while minimizing the risk of complications.
• Why it matters: Simplifies fissure treatment, reducing pain and complications for patients.
