Aim: To evaluate conservative treatment for anal fissures by assessing topical glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) ointment (Rectogesic) and/or Dilatandilatators with a cicatrizing oinment. Method: Between April 2008 and April 2010, 168 patients were diagnosed with an anal fissure. 60 (38 M and 22 F) patients were treated with GTN while 108 were treated with anal ditatators and a cicatrizating oinment. Results: In the GTN group, 33 patients (55%) healed, seven (11.6%) improved and nine (15%) failed to heal. We observed four patients who dropped out (6.67%), four (6.67%) had interrupted therapy
