Anal Fissure
Suggested Pre-Referral Evaluation and Management Guidelines Referral is indicated if patient has persistent or recurrent anal fissure despite optimization of bowel regimen and/or significant pain poorly controlled by non-narcotic means. Typically 90% of anal fissures heal without surgical intervention.
Suggested Additional Test/Management Prior to Specialty Visit Colonoscopy if there are symptoms to suggest undiagnosed underlying inflammatory bowel disease. This need not be done prior to the clinic visit.

If colonoscopy and biopsy are performed outside of the UMHS system, reports should be mailed or faxed at or before the time of the clinic visit. Receiving these prior to the clinic visit is preferable.
