Abstract
Lateral internal sphincterotomy, even though, the most commonly used technique in United States
for the treatment of fissure-in-ano has its associated post-operative complications like incontinence
of flatus or faces. A better alternative in the form of lateral subcutaneous external sphincterotomy
was tried prospectively on 50 patients over a period of 2 years & 4 months in the department of
General Surgery at Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences- Medical College, Semina. Srinagar
India. Postoperative results were excellent vis- a vis pain relief and complications. We conclude
that it is a better alternative for treatment of both acute as well as chronic fissure-in-ano.
