An Anal Fissure is a small tear or cut in the lining of the anus, which is the opening at the end of the digestive tract where stool leaves the body. This condition can cause pain and bleeding during bowel movements. It is often caused by the passage of hard or large stools, and it can be uncomfortable. Treatment may involve lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and sometimes medications to help heal the fissure and relieve symptoms.

In some cases, medical interventions such as topical medications or surgical procedures may be recommended to promote healing and alleviate symptoms. It's important for individuals experiencing persistent or severe symptoms to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and guidance.

At Q Medical Center & Hospital, our approach to diagnosing anal fissures involves employing advanced diagnostic techniques, including a comprehensive physical examination and, if necessary, imaging studies. Our healthcare professionals, often led by experienced colorectal specialists, utilize these methods to accurately assess the nature and extent of the anal fissure.

The diagnostic process typically begins with a thorough medical history review, during which patients are asked about symptoms such as persistent anal pain, bleeding, and discomfort during bowel movements. Additionally, the healthcare provider may inquire about any history of infections, constipation, or other relevant bowel conditions.

The physical examination is a crucial step in the diagnostic journey. It allows the healthcare professional to inspect the anal area for signs of a fissure, such as tears or cuts in the lining. This examination helps in confirming the presence of an anal fissure and determining its characteristics.

Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy (LIS) is a surgical procedure commonly used to treat certain conditions related to the anal sphincter, specifically in cases of chronic anal fissures. An anal fissure is a tear or crack in the lining of the anal canal, and it can cause pain, bleeding, and discomfort during bowel movements.

The primary goal of a lateral internal sphincterotomy is to relieve the pressure on the anal sphincter muscle, promoting healing of the fissure and reducing the risk of recurrence. The procedure involves making a small incision or cut in the internal anal sphincter muscle, which is the muscle responsible for maintaining the tone and tightness of the anal canal.

Fissurectomy is a surgical procedure designed to address chronic anal fissures, which are painful tears or cracks in the lining of the anal canal.
During a fissurectomy, a surgeon removes fibrous or scar tissue around the fissure, aiming to facilitate healing and alleviate discomfort. The procedure may involve local, regional, or general anesthesia, depending on the patient and surgeon's preference. Recovery is generally quicker compared to other surgical options, with postoperative care focusing on promoting healing through measures such as good hygiene, stool softeners, and a high-fiber diet to prevent constipation.
Individualized recommendations from healthcare professionals guide the decision-making process for this procedure.

Your surgeon will provide specific instructions regarding any medications you should continue or stop before undergoing anal fissure surgery.

During the procedure, the surgeon evaluates the internal opening of the fissure and may perform additional techniques, such as a fissurectomy (removal of the fissure) or other procedures tailored to the specific characteristics of the fissure. The goal is to promote healing and alleviate symptoms.

After addressing the fissure, the wound is intentionally left open to heal gradually. In some cases, the surgeon may pack the wound with gauze to aid in the healing process. This open approach allows for proper drainage and reduces the risk of complications.
