An anal fissure is a common benign anorectal condition affecting both children and adults. It is a painful linear tear in the posterior anoderm extending superiorly to the dentate line. Classically, anal fissures are caused by forceful expulsion of large, firm bowel contents. This activity reviews the pathophysiology and management strategies for anal fissures, as well as the indications for and techniques involved in performing an internal anal sphincterotomy. This activity highlights the interprofessional team’s role in managing affected patients.
