Anal Fissure Surgery is required for treating chronic anal fissures that do not heal with conservative measures like diet changes or topical treatments. An anal fissure is a tear in the skin around the anus that can cause intense pain, especially during bowel movements. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the fissure or relieve muscle tension in the anal sphincter.

The surgery may involve a procedure called lateral internal sphincterotomy, which involves cutting part of the anal sphincter muscle to allow the fissure to heal. Another option is fissurectomy, where the fissure is removed entirely. Postoperative care includes pain management and stool softeners to reduce strain during bowel movements.

Patients are advised to follow a high-fiber diet and drink plenty of fluids to prevent constipation and ensure smooth bowel movements during the recovery process. Wound care and follow-up appointments are essential to monitor healing.

Anal fissure surgery is highly effective in resolving chronic fissures and preventing recurrence, providing significant relief from pain and discomfort.
