Chronic Anal Fissure Surgical Interventions provide long-term solutions for persistent and painful fissures that have not responded to conservative treatments. These interventions focus on relieving sphincter tension and promoting healing.
Common procedures include lateral internal sphincterotomy, which involves cutting a portion of the internal anal sphincter to reduce tension. Fissurectomy, or the removal of scar tissue, creates a healthier environment for healing. Botox injections may also be used in some cases to temporarily relax the sphincter.
Postoperative care includes pain management, maintaining proper hygiene, and following a high-fiber diet to prevent constipation. Patients typically experience significant relief from pain and faster healing within a few weeks.
Chronic anal fissure surgical interventions benefit patients by providing effective and lasting relief. These procedures ensure improved comfort and reduce the likelihood of recurrence, significantly enhancing quality of life.
