A nonsurgical approach to chronic anal fissure
Hosp Pract (1995).

Abstract
Both dilatation and sphincterotomy are sometimes followed by impaired continence. Recent experience with topical application of glyceryl trinitrate to relax the internal anal sphincter and cause reversible chemical sphincterotomy has shown promise as a first-line treatment.
