Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the effect of local injection of platelet-enriched plasma in the treatment of patients with acute anal fissure
Design
The clinical trial has a control group, parallel, randomized to 56 patients. Randomization is done using the blocking method (Explained in the randomization section).
Settings and conduct
Standard anal fissure treatment includes stool softeners, topical diltiazem, and topical lidocaine, and in addition to standard treatment, the intervention group will receive two local injections of autologous platelet-enriched plasma at the site of anal fissure with a 1-week interval. Follow-up of patients will be one week and one month after the second injection.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Patients with acute anal fissure (with symptoms less than 6 weeks) who are diagnosed by a surgeon with a history and physical examination. Patients with chronic fissure, fissure in atypical or multiple locations, inflammatory bowel disease, cancer, history of trauma, tuberculosis, immunodeficiency, sexually transmitted diseases, history of anorectal surgery, current and recent pregnancies are excluded.
Intervention groups
Patients with acute anal fissure who receive a topical injection of platelet-enriched plasma in addition to standard fissure anal treatment, including stool softner, topical diltiazem, and topical lidocaine.
Main outcome variables

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Block randomization will be done by dividing included patients into some blocks of size 2n( 2,4,6,8 and...), then randomizing patients in each block will be done such that n patients are allocated to the experimental group and control group. then we will choose the blocks randomly. This method ensures equal treatment allocation within each block when the complete block is used.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: : A group of patients with acute anal fissures who, in addition to the classic treatment, receive PRP as an injection at the base of the wound. In order to prepare PRP or platelet-rich plasma, the patient is first given intravenous blood samples and tubes containing anticoagulants, citric acid, dextrose and thrombin are filled. The tubes are centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 8 minutes and platelet-rich plasma is collected using angiocatheter and platelet separation from the buffer coat. Then between 3 and 5 cc of PRP is injected into the syringe. 0.1 cc is injected at a distance of half a centimeter of healthy tissue into the wound each time. Classical therapy includes topical nitroglycerin, nifedipine, and lidocaine, which are routinely used for this purpose. The centrifuge used is an 8-branch model of 4000 rpm made by Rooyagen Company. Raw materials are prepared from the same company.
