Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy for Chronic Fissures is a targeted surgical procedure designed to relieve tension in the anal sphincter. This reduction in tension promotes healing of the fissure and alleviates associated pain and discomfort.

The procedure involves making a small incision in the internal anal sphincter to release tension without compromising bowel control. It is typically performed on an outpatient basis under local or general anesthesia.

Postoperative care focuses on maintaining proper hygiene, managing mild discomfort with pain relievers, and adopting a high-fiber diet to prevent constipation. Most patients experience significant improvement within a few weeks.

Patients benefit from lateral internal sphincterotomy as it provides rapid and lasting relief from chronic fissures. This safe and effective technique ensures improved quality of life and reduces the likelihood of recurrence.
