Methods: Seventy-six cases with anal fissure were randomly divided into two groups, namely, acupotomy group in which 37 patients were treated by anal internal sphincterotomy with acupotomy, and conventional anal sphincterotomy group (conventional group, n=39) that was treated by conventional amputation of the anal sphincter. Results: After treatment, twenty-six over 37 cases in acupotomy group recovered completely and the other 9 cases were improved clinically, with the total effective rate being 94.59%. In conventional group, 27 over 39 cases recovered completely and the other 11 cases were improved clinically. The total effective rate was 97.44%. There was no significant difference in the curative rate between two groups. However, compared with those of conventional group, patients in acupotomy group had significantly less bleeding, earlier healing of fissure and less pain. Conclusion: The results suggest that acupotomy treatment of anal fissure with anal sphincterotomy is a better therapeutic technique with advantages of easier manipulation, earlier healing and milder wound, less infectious complications and pain.展开更多
