title: Office Surgery for Chronic Fissure-in-Ano.
abstract: We have modified a new technique of surgical repair for chronic fissure-in-ano at the Rudd Clinic. The patient is treated by preference in the office under local rather than general anesthetic; he may then drive home and is back to work within two days. Healing is quicker, the cure rate is higher, complications fewer and only minor. This method has been enthusiastically received by both patient and doctor.
