Fissure Treatment
An anal fissure is a small tear in the skin lining the anus, which can cause sharp pain, burning, and bleeding during bowel movements. At Sarthi Care, we offer modern fissurectomy and laser-based procedures for quick and permanent relief.
More About Fissure
Procedure Details
Fissurectomy involves the surgical removal of the damaged anal tissue to allow healthy healing. In most cases, it’s combined with a lateral internal sphincterotomy (LIS) to reduce muscle tension and prevent recurrence. We also offer laser sphincterotomy for minimal pain and faster healing.
Recovery
Patients typically recover within 1–2 weeks. Most return to normal activities in 2–3 days. With laser techniques, recovery is even faster and more comfortable.
