We provide the best care and plan the best treatment
1. Lateral Sphincterotomy

Treatments we offer

A lateral anal sphincterotomy is done to cut the internal anal sphincter (muscle) and release the tension in the muscle, which causes healing of the fissure. The internal anal sphincter is one of the two muscles that constitute the anal sphincter which controls the passage of faeces. 

LIS  is usually performed under general or spinal anaesthesia. The procedure can be performed in two ways, which are open sphincterotomy or a closed sphincterotomy.

  • Open Sphincterotomy: The surgeon will make a small cut or an incision through the skin to reach the underlying sphincter muscle. Once the muscle is visible, the surgeon cuts into it. The incision or the cut is left open to heal.

  • Closed Sphincterotomy: Here a blade is passed under the skin to access the underlying sphincter muscle. The incision can be closed or left open to heal. This surgical procedure is preferred for treating chronic (long-term) anal fissures.
2. Anal Advancement Flaps

Tretaments we offer

Sometimes, chronic anal fissures do not heal with Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy (LIS) and an advancement flaps procedure need to be done. In this, healthy tissues are taken from any other site of the body and are stitched in place to repair damaged fissured skin. This prevents incontinence of stools after surgery.

3. Laser Surgeries

Treaments we offer

Laser-based surgeries (a method that uses focused light) are also used for fissures. A CO2 (carbon dioxide) laser is used for the treatment of fissures. It works by increasing the blood flow to the fissure, resulting in faster healing of the area. This method offers a fixed area of concentration and therefore, greater control over the surgery.

4. Non Surgical Procedures

Treatments we offer

NonSurgical Procedures

Doctors often prescribe medicines for anal pain. These medications help treat cuts in the anus and provide treatment for tears.

  1. Laxatives help in passing stools easily.
  2. Painkillers, creams, and anesthetics to ease pain.
  3. Creams or ointments with steroids to speed up the healing process and reduce redness and swelling (inflammation) of the area.
  4. Botulinum toxin type A and blood pressure medications. 

These help in relaxing the sphincters and increasing blood flow.

Doctors suggest fissure cure creams and treatment for bum fissure. These fissure treatment medicines are very helpful.

What is Anal Fissure?

An anal fissure is a small tear in the thin, moist tissue (mucosa) that lines the anus. An anal fissure may occur when you pass hard or large stools during a bowel movement. Anal fissures typically cause pain and bleeding with bowel movements. A chronic anal fissure likely has a deeper tear and may have internal or external fleshy growths. A fissure is considered chronic if it lasts more than eight weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fissure surgeries are generally performed by general or colorectal surgeons who are specialized in treating anal fissures.
Colorectal surgeons are those surgeons who have completed advanced surgical training in the treatment of these diseases like anal fissure, as well as entire general surgical training.These doctors are skilled at the surgery of anal fissures and can carry out the procedure tactfully.

It is considered a long-term that is a chronic fissure. A chronic fissure may need medical treatment for the curing and healing process. Anal fissures are a common problem found in several people. They affect people of all ages, especially young and otherwise healthy people.

The cost of anal fissure surgery ranges from INR 20,000 to INR 40,000. Laser fissure procedure can cost around INR 25,000 depending upon the type of surgery. The cost may vary on a case-to-case basis depending upon the procedure, complexities associated with the disease, institution, and geographical location.

One must carefully take out the dressing the morning after the surgery and then take bath with warm water. Applying Silvadene cream to the anus after each hot bath for the first 7to 10 days can be helpful. After bathing, one must pat dry or use a hairdryer and after each bowel movement, gently cleansing the area with water or bathe/shower to keep the area clean can be helpful.

The recovery time of laser surgery is the fastest in comparison to the other procedures and this also allows better control to the surgeon on the entire surgery. It helps the surgeon in removing the fissure properly. Also, the patient experiences nearly no pain during the surgery.
With the help of technology and improvements in medical science, an anal fissure can be treated easily through laser form and by using local anesthesia in a clinic with the least postoperative morbidity. The chance of recurrence of the fissure is relatively less as compared to the traditional surgery methods.

After surgery, one can expect to experience a little bit of discomfort. This can be a little painful for the first few days in the beginning however the pain is eased soon and one starts feeling comfortable again. When the patient leaves the hospital after treatment, they are given something to ease the discomfort and pain.

Hemorrhoids happen due to pressure applied in the anal and rectal veins a repeated number of times. However, anal fissures are caused due to trauma to the anal canal generally during the bowel movement. The major difference between the both is that they are a different kind of surgery altogether. The tear of tissue is called anal fissure whereas hemorrhoids take place by the weakening of cushions of tissue in the lower rectum of the body. This causes the skin to blow up and get filled with blood.

There are certain changes that need to be made in the lifestyle such as adding fiber to the diet and consuming adequate fluids is helpful. Also, one must avoid straining during bowel movements. These will help in relieving discomfort and will eventually promote healing of the anal fissure. Any chance of recurrence will also be prevented.

There are certain factors that can increase the risk of developing an anal fissure. Constipation, which is straining during bowel movements, is one factor that risks anal fissures as it increases the chances of tearing. Childbirth can also be another significant factor for women. Anal intercourse is also a reason that can lead to the risk of anal fissure.

Adding fiber to your diet can prove to be very beneficial and consuming 25 to 30 grams of fiber a day is advisable. Thus, eating foods that have a significant amount of fiber can be helpful for the healing of the anal fissure. This results in softening the stools and eventually helps in healing the anal fissures. Having an intake of enough amount of fluids can be helpful and you should avoid straining in the bowel movements.
