Abstract

A linear tear in the anal canal that may stretch from the mucocutaneous junction to the dentate line is known as an anal fissure [1]. It is a painful anorectal condition predisposed to nonhealing and persistence [2]. Anal fissures are usually the result of constipation and diarrhea. Despite being a painful condition, its etiopathogenesis remains obscure [3].

“Such extreme pain in the patient like no other with such tiny spatial dimensions”

Peters, 1920
