factor. On the other hand, it makes defecation possible due to its relaxation
reflex when the rectal ampulla is distended.
The striated external anal sphincter muscle encloses the internal anal
sphincter muscle at the caudal end of the anal canal. Similar to the striated
skeletal musculature, the external sphincter muscle is capable of a maximal
short-period contraction for the purpose of deliberate action. Cranially, the
striated puborectalis muscle follows, which genetically corresponds to the
lowest part of the levator ani muscle. It encases dorsally the rectum like a
sling, while omitting its ventral parts and inserting into the pubic bone (os
pubis) with broad tendons. The contraction of this muscle leads to a diagonal
sealing of the upper anal canal by a ventral shift of the back wall of the lower
rectum like a crimp connection (“gross anal closure”).
Epithelial Portions of the Continence Organ
The epithelial coating of the anorectum consists of three parts. The epithelium
of the distal part of the anal canal, the anatomical anal canal, is especially
important for the continence function. Here lies the dry, nonkeratinizing squa-
mous epithelium of the anoderm, which due to its intensive supply with sensi-
tive nerve endings is capable to differ between the various aggregate conditions
of the colonic contents. Above the pectinate line, in the section of the surgical
anal canal stemming from the endoderm, a columnar epithelium is found
whose structure is similar to that of the rectal mucosa. Between these two
areas lies the zone of the so-called transitional epithelium (transitional cell
area), which is of individually differing width and is also supplied with sensi-
tive nerves. The histological examination discloses a cylindrical structure.
Macroscopically, the transitional cell area shows a whitish color in contrast to
the reddish shimmering mucosa above, which is not innervated sensitive.
Subepithelial Portions of the Continence Organ
Under the mucosa of the upper anal canal, the corpus cavernosum recti is
located immediately below the epithelium. It is in fact a set of venous vascular
cushions which exist in every individual and are colloquially called “hemor-
rhoids” (Aigner et al. 2006, 2009; Engelhardt et al. 2010). The arterial supply
of this vascular plexus takes place cranially in the tunica submucosa, in par-
ticular through the branches of the superior rectal artery (A. rectalis superior).
The venous discharge runs submucosally partly into the superior rectal vein (V.
rectalis superior) and partly into the venous stems of the middle rectal veins
(Vv. rectalis mediae), while taking its course through the internal anal sphinc-
ter. The virtually permanent contraction of this muscle to maintain continence
leads to a partial obstruction of the venous discharge, while the arterial supply

remains undisturbed. As a result, the vascular cushions are dammed up, and
thus seal effectively the lumen of the upper anal canal (“hermetic seal”). The
caudal portions of the branches of the superior rectal artery pass through the
muscular rectal wall in a straight direction and reach the corpus cavernosum
recti without taking its course through the submucosa. Additionally, there is
arterial supply of the corpus cavernosum recti from the middle rectal artery (A.
rectalis media), so that this redundant vascularization ensures the function of
the corpus cavernosum under all circumstances.
Neural Portions of the Continence Organ
The neural structures make sure that the different functional areas of the con-
tinence organ are connected with each other and also with the superordinate
nerve centers (Raulf 2004). While the internal anal sphincter muscle is auton-
omous and controlled by stretch receptors in the rectal wall and in the puborec-
talis muscle, the striated muscle portions receive their somatic innervation
from the lowermost lumbar plexus and the sacral part of the spinal cord. From
the viewpoint of anatomy, the course of the branches of the pudendal nerve
(N. pudendus) is important. At the level of the pelvic floor, they run laterally
towards the striated muscle fibers. The pudendal nerve branches are situated
at about 2, 4, 8 and 10 o’clock lithotomy position within the ischioanal fossa
(fossa ischiorectalis). By analogy with a clock, the anus is seen in such a way
that 6 o’clock corresponds to the dorsal circumference, that is, toward the tip
of the coccyx (Fig. 1.1).

1.2 Definition of Anal Fissure

Anal fissures are divided into primary — acute or chronic — and secondary fissures.
They are lesions in the lower anal canal. Primary anal fissures develop as local enti-
ties; secondary fissures develop in the context of a basic disease.
Anal fissure is a painful, linear or spindle-shaped, longitudinal defect in the
highly sensitive anoderm. It often causes a reactive sphincter hypertonia, which pos-
sibly triggers a reduced blood circulation with venous stasis. It is found in the ano-
derm between the pectinate line and the anal verge.
Anal fissures can heal either spontaneously or after therapy. They can recur or
turn from acute into chronic anal fissures (Figs. 1.2 and 1.3).

Chronic Anal Fissure

2.1 Morphology

Chronic anal fissure presents as longitudinal, deep ulcer, sometimes coated with
smear. Secondary changes can occur in their development, such as hypertrophied
anal papillae close to the proximal edge of the fissure at the level of the pectinate
line, also pathologically altered crypts (anal cryptitis) or sentinel tags (secondary
skin tags) with or without incomplete or complete fistula. At this stage, the wound
edges are scarred and bulging, occasionally callused or undermined. Sometimes,
the transversely running, now and then fibrous tissue of the internal anal sphincter
appears at the fissure floor. It is not the duration of the existence of the anal fissure
that is pathognomonic for the chronic anal fissure, but the appearance of the altera-
tions mentioned earlier. The difficulty of a morphologically related definition of the
chronic anal fissure is dealt with in Chap. 4.

2.2 Location

The analysis of 15 trials comprising a total of 6881 patients in Table 2.1 shows that
anal fissures are located at the posterior midline with a frequency rate between 45.1
and 86.9% and at the anterior midline with a rate between 8.0 and 39.3%. In the
other sectors, they appear with a frequency rate between 0.5 and 12.3%. Goligher
(1975) found ventrally located anal fissures significantly more in women than in
men (10:1).

2.3 Age Distribution
The analysis of seven publications which refer to a total of 2346 anal fissure patients
yields the age distribution in Table 2.2.
The peak incidence occurs in patients between 30 and 50 years of age.
Twenty-four clinical trials with a total of 4978 anal fissure patients show a peak
incidence between 38 and 51.2 years of age (Table 2.3). Anal fissures in children are
relatively rare.
