ANAL FISSURE

Anal fissure is a common disease that affects people of all ages and both men and women. It is a small tear in the lining of the anal canal. These crack in the skin gives sharp pain, discomfort, bleeding and strain during stool release.

Types of fissures: - They are two types as follows:

  • Acute fissure: An acute anal fissure looks like a fresh tear, somewhat like a paper cut.
  • Chronic fissure: A chronic anal fissure likely has a deeper tear, and may have internal or external fleshy growths. This fissure is considered chronic if it lasts more than eight weeks.

Procedure:

Most of the fissures do not require extensive treatment. They can be treated without any surgery. Some home remedies also help by eating fibre foods and taking more fluids. Chronic fissures may need surgery.

At Laser piles India we use advanced laser treatment to treat fissures know as Laser lateral Internal Sphincterotomy. Sphincterotomy means dividing the sphincter. It is usually performed under a general anaesthetic and usually takes about 15-20 mins. Surgeon will make a very small cut in the skin near your back passage. He will then cut the lower part of the internal sphincter muscle. This will relieve the spasm in the sphincter,this allows a better blood supply to heal the fissure. This procedure is painless and bloodless and has excellent outcomes.

How soon will I recover?

  • You can go home on the same day after the surgery.
  • Regular exercise will help you to return to normal activities.
