After local anesthesia for anal fissure, the patient is lying on the side, first show the finger to expand the anus, and then gradually extend the two middle fingers to maintain the expansion for 5 minutes, after the expansion, it can relieve sphincter spasm, expand the trauma and promote wound healing, but the recurrence rate is relatively high, and at the same time, it can be complicated with hemorrhage, perianal abscess, and fecal incontinence.
