Abstract
Long-term follow-up of outcome after lateral internal sphincterotomy for chronic anal fissure suggests that the healing rate is in excess of 95 per cent. A group of patients who continue to have symptoms following surgery has been investigated by endoanal ultrasonography to determine its value in determining why sphincterotomy has failed.
