Anal Fissure Surgery (Sphincterotomy & Laser Fissurectomy)
Anal fissure surgery is a quick, minimally invasive procedure to heal chronic painful tears in the lining of the anal canal. When medications and high-fiber diets fail to relieve severe sharp pain and bleeding during bowel movements, surgery relaxes the tight internal anal sphincter muscle, restoring normal blood flow to promote rapid, permanent healing.

Symptoms and Signs of Chronic Anal Fissure
Anal fissures often begin after passing hard or large stools, but chronic fissures persist due to continuous muscle spasms. Key signs include sharp, knife-like pain during and after defecation, which can last from a few minutes to several aching hours.
Patients frequently notice bright red blood streaks on toilet paper or stool surfaces, accompanied by intense anal itching, burning, and a visible tear or small skin tag (sentinel pile) near the anal opening.
If pain is so excruciating that you avoid bowel movements, or if bleeding is heavy and continuous, consult a specialist promptly to prevent secondary complications.
