Fissure vs fistula? edit

A fistula is a TEAR or abnormal event; a fissure is a normal condition: From wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn: "fissure" is a depression in a surface crack: a long narrow opening break into fissures or fine cracks; (anatomy) a long narrow slit or groove that divides an organ into lobes. I hope this clears up the confusion from the above entry.Raymondwinn (talk) 04:56, 21 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

This is not only a stub. It is just incorrect. What is described is a fistula. A fissure is a scratch which goes beyound the epidermis.

Fissure isn't only a medical word, it's also used in geology. anybody with any more info on that?

Hi edit

Request to redirect the word "Fissure" to "Fissure (disambiguation)" whereas this content should be under the name "Fissure (anatomy)". 72.225.242.221 (talk) 20:08, 12 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
