Fissurectomy

Fissurectomy is a surgical procedure used to treat anal fissures, which are painful tears or cracks in the lining of the anus. It involves the removal of the fissure itself, along with any underlying scar tissue or muscle spasm, to promote healing and alleviate symptoms.

During a fissurectomy, the patient is placed under anesthesia to ensure a comfortable and pain-free experience. The surgeon carefully examines the fissure and surrounding area to determine the extent of the condition and plan the appropriate treatment approach. The procedure begins with an incision made along the length of the fissure, allowing the surgeon to access the underlying tissue. The fissure is then carefully dissected and removed, along with any scar tissue or muscle spasm that may be contributing to the problem. This process helps to eliminate the source of pain and promote proper healing.

In some cases, additional techniques may be used in conjunction with fissurectomy to enhance the healing process. For instance, the surgeon may perform a sphincterotomy, which involves making a small incision in the internal anal sphincter muscle to relieve pressure and improve blood flow to the area. This can help facilitate healing and reduce the chances of the fissure recurring. After the fissurectomy procedure, the incision is typically closed with dissolvable stitches, which eliminates the need for suture removal. The patient is then provided with instructions on post-operative care, including proper hygiene and pain management.

Fissurectomy is generally considered a safe and effective treatment option for anal fissures, with a high success rate in relieving pain and promoting healing. Laser hemorrhoidectomy is a highly beneficial procedure for individuals seeking relief from haemorrhoids. It offers several advantages, including minimal discomfort, precise targeting of the hemorrhoidal tissue, and minimal scarring. By using laser energy to seal off nerve endings, patients experience less postoperative pain and a faster recovery compared to traditional surgeries. The precise nature of the procedure minimises damage to surrounding healthy tissue and reduces the risk of complications. Additionally, the effective sealing of blood vessels results in smaller incisions and less visible scarring, enhancing patients' comfort and confidence.

Recovery from fissurectomy varies from patient to patient, but most individuals experience significant relief from symptoms and an improvement in their quality of life. It is important to follow the surgeon's instructions regarding diet, bowel movements, and medication to ensure optimal healing and prevent complications.
