New surgery for chronic anal fissure
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new combined surgical method for people with a chronic anal fissure (a small tear in the skin around the anus) that has not healed and is causing muscle spasms. The goal is to see if this surgery can help the fissure heal and relieve pain and spasm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two surgical approaches to treat chronic anal fissures (painful tears in the anus) that haven't healed with conservative treatment. The goal is to determine which technique is safer and more effective.
This study looks at a common surgery called lateral internal sphincterotomy (LIS) to treat long-lasting anal fissures. The surgery aims to reduce pain by relaxing the muscle around the anus, helping the fissure heal.
This trial tests a new treatment made from special cells (called E-CEL UVEC) for people with long-lasting anal fissures that haven't healed with standard treatments. The goal is to see if this cell-based therapy can reduce pain and help the fissure heal.
This study looks at how surgery for common anal conditions (like hemorrhoids or anal fissures) might affect sexual function in women. It aims to see if there are changes after surgery, which can help doctors better inform their patients.
This study tests whether AI-written educational materials can help people with chronic anal fissure. It's for patients who are beginning simple treatments (like diet or cream) and can read Turkish.
This trial studies a “combined” treatment approach for people who have had an anal fissure (a small tear in the anal area) for a long time. It may help reduce pain and improve healing, but you must meet specific safety rules to join.
