Abstract
Objective: To compare a systemic transdermal therapeutic system with local application of glyceryl trinitrate ointment in the treatment of anal fissure.
Subjects: 89 outpatients with chronic anal fissure were randomly assigned to be treated with either transdermal (n = 52) or 0.2% glyceryl trinitrate ointment (n = 37).
Interventions: The patients were assessed at the sixth and the twelfth week after initial evaluation by physical examination, anoscopy, and anal manometry.
Main outcome measures: Changes in the maximal anal resting pressure, healing rate.
Results: Anal fissure was completely healed in 38 (73%) and 24 (64%) of the patients after 6 weeks and 48 (81%) and 27 (79%) of the patients in transdermal group and ointment group, respectively. Maximal anal resting pressure was reduced by 24% and 21% in transdermal and ointment groups, respectively.
Conclusion: Systemic transdermal application of glyceryl trinitrate gave a satisfactory healing rate, which was comparable to that of local application of ointment.
