About Fissurectomy

A fissurectomy is a surgical procedure performed by a general surgeon to treat chronic anal fissures that have not responded to conservative treatments. An anal fissure is a small tear in the thin, moist tissue (mucosa) lining the anus. During the procedure, the surgeon excises (removes) the fissure and any associated scar tissue or sentinel skin tag. This promotes healing by creating a clean wound that can granulate and close properly. The surgery is often combined with a lateral internal sphincterotomy to reduce anal sphincter pressure, which is a primary cause of chronic fissures. It is typically a day-care or short-stay procedure performed under spinal or general anesthesia, offering a definitive solution for persistent pain and bleeding.
