The treatment of chronic anal fissures remains challenging for both healthcare providers and their patients.
As first-line treatment, topical ointments containing calcium channel blockers or nitric oxide donors are often recommended, knowing though the latter is associated with more side effects. While noninvasive, this treatment can be burdensome for patients, and its overall efficacy is suboptimal.
Botulinum toxin can be used as first-line therapy for patients seeking to avoid topical treatments or surgery.
Botulinum toxin injection offers similar results to ointments and can be offered as first-line treatment to patients who prefer to avoid frequent ointment application. Most national society guidelines also recommend botulinum toxin as a second-line treatment, eventually combined with fissurectomy due to concerns about persistent incontinence associated with lateral sphincterotomy, despite its high efficacy.
FISSCURE® renders the injection of botulinum toxin:
The use of FISSCURE® is straightforward and fast, eliminating the learning curve typically associated with accurately injecting botulinum toxin into the internal anal sphincter. This is particularly important given the relatively low incidence of anal fissures, which means that gastroenterologists and proctological surgeons may encounter only a limited number of cases each year. Watch our video to see how to perform the injection of botulinum toxin with FISSCURE®.
FISSCURE® is inherently safe for the user during use, as there is no direct contact with the needles from insertion through to the completion of the procedure.
FISSCURE® ensures precise and reliable delivery into all four quadrants of the internal anal sphincter. By assumption, this is expected to deliver consistently high cure rates.
