Laser Fissurectomy With Laser Internal Sphinctorotomy

Anal fissures are small tears or cracks in the lining of the anal canal, causing pain, bleeding, and discomfort during bowel movements. 

This part of the procedure involves using a laser to precisely cut and remove the fissure, along with any surrounding damaged tissue or scar tissue. 

This part of the procedure uses the laser to make a small incision in the internal anal sphincter muscle, which helps to relieve the muscle spasm and reduce pressure in the anal canal. 

Laser surgery for anal fissures offers several advantages, including:

• Minimally invasive: It involves smaller incisions and less tissue damage compared to traditional open surgery. 
  
   
• Less pain: The precision of the laser minimizes pain and discomfort during and after the procedure. 
  
   
• Faster recovery: Patients often experience a quicker recovery and can return to their normal activities sooner. 
  
   
• Reduced risk of recurrence: The laser can precisely target and remove the fissure, potentially lowering the chance of the fissure returning. 
  
   

• The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis, often under local or general anesthesia. 
  
   
• The surgeon uses a laser to make a controlled incision in the internal anal sphincter and to remove the fissure. 
  
   
• The laser also seals blood vessels and nerve endings, minimizing bleeding and pain. 
  
   

Patients usually experience a relatively quick recovery, with most able to return to work within a few days.
