Abstract:
Abstract- Anal fissure is a linear or oval-shaped tear in the anal canal starting just below the dentate line extending to the anal verge. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and complications of GTN with Vaseline base in the period between January 2014 to June 2018 in Almak Nimir University Hospital Shendi University (Sudan). Methodology: This study was a prospective, hospital-based, small-scale study conducted in the period between April 2014 to April 2018 in Almak Nimir University Hospital Shendi
University (Sudan). 155 patients with acute & chronic anal fissure treated with GTN with Vaseline base (22 patients excluded due to incomplete follow up). Result: One hundred and fifty-five patients were enrolled: twenty-two patients excluded due incomplete follow up. The maximum number of cases of anal fissure belonged to the 21 to 30 age group. Success rate up to 94 % with and negligible site effect (1.5%). Conclusion: GTN 2% in Vaseline base was effective in the treatment of anal fissure with an efficacy up to 94% and
negligible site effect (1.5%).
