Anal Fissure Surgery & Treatment

 It is a painful tear at the lower end of the anal canal.

Why Does An Anal Fissure Occur?

Anal fissure typically occur after the passage of a hard constipated motion. It sometimes is associated with other pathological processes in the colon.

What Is The Treatment Of Anal Fissures?

Like other small tears in the body an anal fissure may heal by itself within 14 – 21 days.

During this period a patient should:

  •  Increase the fibre in their diet
  • Increase the oral fluid intake
  • Not delay a bowel movement when urge to defecates occurs
  • Apply topical ointments including a local anesthetic ointment and / or glycerol trinitrate preparation
  • Sit in a warm sitz bath 2 – 3 times/day
  • Oral analgesia may be required

If inspite of the above no improvement has been achieved, then other interventions may have to be considered. 

This includes amongst others:

  • Internal Sphincterotomy
  • Botulinum toxin injection

 Both the above can be done as a day procedure operation with excellent long term results.

Recovery From Surgery

Recovery following surgery largely consists of an extended period of the conservative treatment described above. However relief from symptoms dissipate largely instantaneously. Patient can go home on the same day of surgery or the following day. Resumption of work is typically achieved within 48 hours of surgery.

What is Anal Fistula? It’s Treatment & Recovery from Surgery

  What Is An Anal Fistula? This a channel extending from the anal canal (usually) to the skin in the area surrounding the anal verge.  It is frequently a result of the formation of an anal gland infection which may manifest as an abscess. What Is The  Treatment For Anal Fistula ? Surgery is almost always needed as only very few fistulas heal by themselves.  The procedure of choice depends on: Type of Fistula Presence/ absence of infection/large abscess. In majority of cases a fistulotomy procedure alone suffice.  In this the tract is layed open along its entire length, and the wound so created is allowed to heal by scar tissue formation.  Occasionally in the case of a complex fistula a two stage procedure is warranted to achieve full healing without complications.

Exploring Cholecystectomy Surgery: Laparoscopic Surgeons in India

  Understanding Cholecystectomy Surgery Cholecystectomy  is the medical term for the surgical removal of the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a small organ located beneath the liver that stores bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver. When gallstones or other conditions cause pain, inflammation, or complications, removal of the gallbladder through cholecystectomy may be recommended. The Evolution to Laparoscopic Surgery Traditionally, cholecystectomy was performed using open surgery, which required a larger incision and longer recovery times. However, with advancements in medical technology,  laparoscopic cholecystectomy  has become the preferred approach in many cases. This technique involves making several small incisions through which a tiny camera and surgical instruments are inserted. The surgeon views the procedure on a monitor and performs the surgery with greater precision and minimal tissue damage. Benefits of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Faster Recover...
