Description

Laser fissure surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat chronic anal fissures—small tears or cuts in the lining of the anal canal that cause pain, bleeding, and discomfort during bowel movements. Laser surgery is considered a modern alternative to traditional procedures like lateral internal sphincterotomy. An anal fissure is a small tear in the skin of the anal canal, often caused by: Constipation or hard stools Straining during bowel movements Inflammatory conditions (e.g. Crohn’s disease) Symptoms: Sharp pain during or after bowel movement Bleeding (bright red on tissue or in stool) Itching or burning Visible tear near the anus Laser fissure surgery uses a focused laser beam to: Remove scar tissue from chronic fissures Improve blood flow to the area Reduce inflammation Sometimes cut a small portion of the internal sphincter to relieve tension (similar to a laser sphincterotomy) Benefits of Laser Surgery Minimally invasive ✅ Less bleeding ✅ Faster healing ✅ Lower post-op pain ✅ Day care procedure Often same-day discharge✅ Low risk of incontinence Especially compared to traditional sphincterotomy✅ For Consultation Contact Dr Sarveshwar Reddy
