Treatment for SOD typically includes medical and surgical approaches. Medical management may involve the use of muscle relaxants, analgesics, and anti-inflammatory medications to alleviate symptoms. In more severe cases, surgical intervention such as sphincterotomy may be required to cut the sphincter muscle and relieve the obstruction. Histological analysis of the sphincter tissue post-surgery can help in assessing the effectiveness of the treatment and in detecting any potential complications such as fibrosis or infection.
