36 years old man with a history of anal bleeding and pain
every 3 to 6 monthly for 2 years. Noticed a non healing ulcer
on the anus since 1 year previously. Clinical examination
confirmed a chronic posterior anal fissure and he was
prescribed with H.P.S. therapy with the Colorec device.
Colorec were prescribed to 27 other patients with symptoms
of chronic anal fissre (17 with pain, 16 with bleeding and
constipation). They were followed up with questionnaires at
0, 2, 4 and 12 weeks. Rapid progressive recovery was reported
for all the symptoms. 12 out of 17 with anus pain, 9 out of 16 with
bleeding and 6 out of 16 with constipation patients reported total
disappearance of symptoms. The other patients also improved at
the 12th week after H.P.S. therapy of Colorec. No patient reported
deterioration or static symptoms.
Six patients were laxative dependent. Five of the 6 reported being
laxative free and the other 1 reported significant reduction in laxative
usage at 12 weeks therapy. Average time taken for defecation was
also reported to be reduced from 15 minutes initially to 6.5 minutes
at the end of 12 weeks.
In brief the H.P.S. therapy of Colorec helped every symptom and every
patient in this study.
