About Anal Fissure

An anal fissure is a small tear or cut in the thin, moist tissue (mucosa) lining the anus. A gastroenterologist manages this condition, which often causes significant pain and bleeding during bowel movements. Initial treatment typically involves conservative measures like dietary changes, stool softeners, and topical medications to relax the anal sphincter and promote healing. For chronic fissures that do not respond, a gastroenterologist may perform an office-based procedure called a lateral internal sphincterotomy (LIS). This minor surgical procedure involves making a small incision in the internal anal sphincter muscle to reduce spasm and pressure, allowing the fissure to heal. It is a highly effective outpatient treatment with a high success rate for relieving pain and preventing recurrence.

Key Highlights

Highly effective for chronic anal fissures with a success rate over 90%.Performed as an outpatient procedure, often with no overnight hospital stay required.Provides rapid and significant relief from severe anal pain and discomfort.Minimally invasive technique with small incisions.Aims to correct the underlying muscle spasm that prevents healing.Can often be performed under local anesthesia./ul

Who is this surgery for?

Chronic anal fissure persisting for more than 6-8 weeks despite conservative medical therapy.
Severe pain during or after bowel movements that significantly impacts quality of life.
Recurrent anal fissures that heal and then reopen.
Presence of a sentinel pile (skin tag) or hypertrophied anal papilla associated with the fissure.
Fissure caused by underlying anal sphincter spasm or high resting anal pressure.
Failure of treatments like topical nitroglycerin, nifedipine, or diltiazem ointments.

How to prepare

Consultation with the gastroenterologist to review medical history and current medications.
You may be asked to stop certain blood-thinning medications (like aspirin or warfarin) a few days before, as advised by your doctor.
Bowel preparation is usually minimal; you may be asked to use an enema or laxative the night before to empty the rectum.
Fasting for a few hours before the procedure if sedation or anesthesia is planned.
Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure, especially if sedation is used.
Inform your doctor of any allergies, especially to local anesthetics or latex.

Risks & possible complications

Temporary incontinence (leakage) of gas or stool, which usually improves within weeks.
Bleeding or hematoma (bruising) at the surgical site.
Infection, though rare due to the area's natural bacteria.
Urinary retention (difficulty passing urine) immediately after the procedure.
Recurrence of the fissure or failure to heal completely.
Rare risk of permanent fecal incontinence, particularly if too much muscle is cut.
Pain or discomfort during the healing process.

Recovery & hospital stay

Mild to moderate pain is common for a few days, managed with prescribed pain medication and sitz baths (warm water soaks).
Keep the area clean and dry; gentle cleansing after bowel movements is recommended.
Use stool softeners or a high-fiber diet to prevent constipation and straining.
Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and prolonged sitting for 1-2 weeks.
Most people can return to desk work within a few days and resume normal activities within 1-2 weeks.
Follow-up appointment with the gastroenterologist is typically scheduled to ensure proper healing.
Report any signs of infection (increased pain, fever, pus) or heavy bleeding to your doctor immediately.

Typical hospital stay: 0-1 days (typically outpatient)
Expected recovery time: 1-2 weeks for normal activities, 4-6 weeks for complete healing

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to three other doctors...

I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging pain and fatigue. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Latha at MGM was the first one who actually sat and listened, really listened, to everything I was saying. She ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something quite rare. She explained it all to me in plain Tamil, drew diagrams on a notepad. I was scared, but she laid out a clear plan. It's been a long road, but I finally feel like we're getting somewhere.
