Treatment of Fissure

Fissure Surgery (Conventional Method)

This is the conventional surgical method to perform anal fissure surgery. Surgery is needed when medicine fails to heal a tear (fissure) in the anus. The preferred procedure is an internal anal sphincterotomy where there is a cut to access the sphincter.

It is a simple, safe and effective day-care procedure without any cuts or stitches to treat the anal fissure that can be performed with local anesthesia in an outpatient clinic with minimal postoperative morbidity.
