Results of botox treatment in anal fissures (Our experience); Central Customs Hospital

Abstract

Introduction Anal fissures appear clinically as a rip in the anal canal distal to the dentate line, causing agonizing discomfort during defecation. Acute and chronic anal fissures are the two types of anal fissures. Acute anal fissures usually heal fully within 5–6 weeks. Conservative treatment, on the other hand, loses value and becomes ineffectual as the anal fissure progresses to the chronic stage. Botulinum toxin injections are now commonly used to treat anal fissures in recent years. Patients and procedures 24 patients with anal fissure were studied retrospectively at Azerbaijan’s Central Customs Hospital. The patients were divided into 15 females and 9 males. For the toxin preparation and injection operation, we employed 100 units of Botox Tip A. from Allergan in the United States. The purpose of the trial was to see how well botulinum injections worked for treating anal fissures. The average age of the 24 patients was 46.92.5. There were two ladies and nine males among the 24 patients who were initially eligible for the trial. According to the location of the anal fissure, it was discovered that in men, the anal fissure is primarily positioned on the back wall of the anal canal, whereas in women, it is placed on the anterior wall and both walls. After botox, all patients experienced complete clinical improvement. Conclusion Botulin injection is a feasible surgical option for treating anal fissures and is considered a successful surgery.
