NCT00927849

Brief Summary

Idiopathic hypertensive anal canal is a fact and already exists presented by anal pain aggravated by defecation. It can be managed safely by closed lateral sphincterotomy but chemical sphincterotomy had a minor role in its management.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Effect of Closed Lateral Sphincterotomy and Chemical Sphincterotomy on Hypertensive Anal Canal

    effect of closed lateral sphincterotomy and chemical sphincterotomy on hypertensive anal canal, anal manometery

    one year

  • Relieve of Anal Pain

    using a visual analog scale (VAS) with which each patients noted the severity of pain at each evaluated time using a linear between zero (no pain) and 10 ( severe pain)

    one year after the procedure

Study Arms (3)

surgical group lateral sphincterotomy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

underwent closed lateral internal sphincterotomy (LIS) under local anesthesia at 3 o'clock in lithotomy position reaching up to the dentate line.

Procedure: lateral internal sphincterotomy (LIS)

Glycerin trinitrate group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

all were instructed to apply the Glycerin trinitrate group (GTN) ointment 0.2 % twice a day to the edge and just inside the anal canal for 8 week course.

Drug: Glycerin trinitrate (GTN)

botulinum toxin injection

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

All were injected with botulinum toxin injection (BTX- A) in the left lateral position; anesthesia was not required. A volume of 0.5 ml of dissolved toxin, i.e., 100 u Dysport, is injected in each patient. The injection is given with an insulin syringe fitted with a needle size of 21 gauze and 3.75 lengths. Injection into the IAS, with the patients awake in the left -lateral position in the outpatient clinic in the 3 and 9 o'clock position.

Drug: botulinum toxin injection (BTX A)
