Response - NO
Brief Summary   All clinically diagnosed cases of chronic fissure in ano will be divided into two groups. Group 1 patients will be treated with 2% Diltiazem gel. Group 2 patients will be treated with lateral internal sphincterotomy. Both groups will be followed up on 1st, 4th and 6th week  on OPD basis to assess the outcomes as listed above. The rationale is to explore the role of topical 2% diltiazem as effective and safe alternative to lateral internal sphicterotomy for treatment of chronic fissure in ano.
