Lateral internal sphincterotomy proved to be effective in 99 per cent of the 418 procedures in which it was performed. The complication rate of 5 per cent was an improvement over most of the rates reported in the medical literature and over our previous experience with posterior sphincterotomy and anoplasty. Anal wounds and fissures healed faster than with previous procedures. It is encouraging that this simple and rapid procedure has such great efficacy with a minimum of complications.
在418例实施了外侧内括约肌切开术的手术中，99%的手术证明是有效的。5%的并发症发生率相较于医学文献中报道的大多数发生率以及我们之前进行后括约肌切开术和肛门成形术的经验都有所改善。肛门伤口和肛裂的愈合速度比之前的手术更快。令人鼓舞的是，这种简单快速的手术能产生如此显著的疗效，且并发症极少。
