Official Title: Incision Type for Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine effective incision type for the treatment of chronic anal fissures.

Detailed Summary: The lateral internal sphincterotomy (LIS) technique is considered the optimal surgical treatment for chronic anal fissures (CAFs); however, questions remain regarding the best technique.
