What does anal fissure triad mean? It turns out to be these three types

Patients with anorectal diseases often hear the terms anal fissure triad and anal fissure pentad. Many people don’t know much about them. What exactly is anal fissure triad? In fact, the portal triad refers to the anal papilloma or anal papillitis caused by long-term anal fissure, sentinel piles, old anal fissure, or the subcutaneous fistula caused by them. Let us take a closer look at them below!

The anal fissure triad generally refers to the anal papilloma or anal papillitis caused by long-term anal fissure, sentinel piles, old anal fissure or subcutaneous fistula caused by them. These three should be classified as stage III anal fissure. Therefore, anal fissure triad is stage III anal fissure. According to experts from Jinan Anorectal Hospital, anal fissure, as a common anal canal disease, is usually divided into three stages clinically, and anal fissure triad is a typical manifestation of three-stage anal fissure. An ulcerative fissure has formed in the anal canal, but there are no complications, such as hypertrophy of anal papillae, sentinel hemorrhoids, and subcutaneous fistulas. In addition, if the anal fissure continues to develop, anal sinusitis and anal fistula will also occur, which are collectively called "anal fissure pentad" together with the first three.

According to experts, anal fissure, as a common anal canal disease, is usually divided into three stages clinically, and anal fissure triad is a typical manifestation of three-stage anal fissure. The details are as follows:

Stage I anal fissure: also known as primary anal fissure, that is, fresh anal fissure or early anal fissure. The anal canal skin was superficially damaged, and the tissues around the wound were basically normal.

Stage II anal fissure: also called simple anal fissure. An ulcerative fissure has formed in the anal canal, but there are no complications, such as hypertrophy of anal papillae, sentinel hemorrhoids, and subcutaneous fistulas.

Stage III anal fissure: refers to chronic anal fissure, generally referred to as anal fissure triad, but also includes tetralogy or pentageria. Its manifestations are that the fissure is an old ulcer, combined with hypertrophy of the anal papilla and sentinel piles, or accompanied by subcutaneous fistula and anal crypt inflammation. Among them, anal ulcers, hypertrophy of anal papillae, and sentinel hemorrhoids are often referred to as the "anal fissure triad." In addition, if the anal fissure continues to develop, anal sinusitis and anal fistula will also occur, which are collectively called "anal fissure pentad" together with the first three.
