Opening of the article
A total of 118 patients were studied over 3 years period. These were the patients who did not respond to other conservative measures for the management of anal fissures. Sixty seven (66) patients were males and fifty (55) females. Age range was 18-73 years. 108 (92%) patients had posterior and 10 (8%) anterior anal fissure. One hundred and eleven (94.06%) patients were free from symptoms after LLIS and only seven patients continued to experience pain; out of these two cases had to be reoperated. LLIS is an excellent surgical procedure for patients suffering from chronic anal fissure who fail to respond to conservative treatments for anal fissure.
