We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoanal ultrasound (EAUS)-guided botulinum toxin (BT) in the treatment of chronic anal fissure (CAF). All patients were classified into 2 groups: conventional and EAUS groups. In total, 90 units of BT were injected into the internal anal sphincter at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions in the EAUS group. An injection was performed into the intersphincteric space at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions in the conventional group. Adverse effects and efficacy were analyzed. There were 44 patients: 26 in the conventional group and 18 in the EAUS group. Pain and incontinence rates were similar between groups ( > .05). The efficacy rate was higher in the EAUS group (69.23%) than in the conventional group (81.82%), but this difference was not significant ( = .466). EAUS-guided BT injection is safe and effective in patients with CAFs.
我们旨在评估经肛门超声(EAUS)引导下肉毒毒素(BT)治疗慢性肛裂(CAF)的疗效和安全性。所有患者分为 2 组:常规组和 EAUS 组。EAUS 组在 3、6、9 点钟位置将 90 个单位的 BT 注入内括约肌,常规组在 3、6、9 点钟位置将注射针注入括约肌间间隙。分析不良反应和疗效。共有 44 例患者:常规组 26 例,EAUS 组 18 例。两组间疼痛和失禁发生率相似(>.05)。EAUS 组的疗效(69.23%)高于常规组(81.82%),但差异无统计学意义(=.466)。EAUS 引导下 BT 注射治疗 CAF 安全有效。
