The Role of Botulinum Toxin in Anorectal Disorders has expanded significantly, offering a non-surgical solution for various conditions. Its ability to relax sphincter muscles makes it a valuable tool in anorectal treatment.
Botulinum toxin injections are commonly used to treat anal fissures by reducing sphincter tension and promoting healing. It is also effective in managing refractory fecal incontinence and anismus by improving muscle coordination and reducing spasms.
The procedure is minimally invasive, with injections administered directly into the affected muscles under local anesthesia. Patients typically experience symptom relief within a few days, with effects lasting several months.
This approach benefits patients by providing a safe, effective, and non-invasive treatment option for challenging anorectal disorders. Its versatility continues to make it a valuable addition to anorectal care.
