Description
Summary:Material and Methods: All patients, both male and female admitted for hemorrhoidectomy, fistulectomy and lateral internal sphincterotomy for Anal Fissure with minimum 02 months follow-up were included in the study through non probability consecutive sampling technique. A very common and acceptable theory says that raised resting anal sphincter pressure or anal muscle spasm causes comparative ischemia of mucosa of anal canal particularly in posterior midline tears, which results in persistence of internal sphincter hypertonia followed by hard stool due to constipation. Sample size was calculated by WHO calculator with 95% confidence interval, anticipated population proportion 4.5% and absolute precision 5%10. [...]difficult to follow and make an assessment in such procedures.
