It is a common illness, which causes morbidity in the healthy population, especially among the young people. Aetiopathogenesis, and the treatment of this illness is contentious, although it was identified long time ago. The treatment of the chronic form of this illness generally requires surgical intervention whereas acute form of the illness responses to medical treatment. Numerous medicines (Botilismus toxin, goniatoxin, glyceril trinitrate, etc), which are aimed to decrease tonus of the internal anal sphincters, which play an important role in the chronic anal fissure's etiopathogenesis and applied surgical methods are currently debatable.
