Successful treatment of chronic anal fissure utilizing sacral nerve stimulation
Abstract
Objective: This is a report of a novel treatment approach for chronic anal fissure using minimally invasive sacral nerve stimulation (SNS).
Measurements: The patient underwent uneventful placement of 1 temporary 8-electrode lead (Medtronic Inc, Minneapolis, Minnesota) for sacral nerve root stimulation.
Results: The patient experienced instantaneous relief of perineal pain after start of SNS and steady healing of the fissure by the end of the second week.
Conclusion: SNS offers an alternative treatment option of chronic anal fissure for patients who choose not to use more invasive surgical interventions.
