An overview<\/strong><\/p>\n The surgical treatment of fissure is known as Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy (LIS). This procedure involves stretching or cutting the muscles that surround the anus. This procedure is usually quite painful and is feared by patients. However, when performed with the use of a laser, the procedure is completely painless & bloodless<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Laser treatment for fissure takes roughly about 30 minutes. The fissure surgery by laser is done as a daycare procedure and the patient gets discharged within 24 to 48 hours. Laser treatment for fissure is a minimally invasive technique and the patient hardly experiences any pain. It is the permanent solution for fissure, but the patient is required to follow all given instructions so that all the complications are kept at bay. A fissure surgery by laser provides instantaneous relief. Laser treatment for fissure is completely safe, with no damages to either the skin or any of the organs of the patient.<\/span><\/p>\n Procedure for laser treatment for fissure<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n The procedure for the laser treatment for fissure is of two types<\/span><\/p>\n The CO2 Laser technique<\/strong><\/p>\n This technique involves the use of co2 laser<\/span><\/p>\n The laser treatment for fissure<\/a> begins with the application of local anaesthesia.<\/span><\/p>\n The infrared radiation from the laser is then used to increase the blood flow to the area of the fissure. This results in the proper healing of the fissure. <\/span><\/p>\n The use of a CO2 laser is because it offers a fixed area of concentration and greater control of the surgery. Also, with the use of a CO2 laser, there’s a lesser chance of recurrence of the fissure compared to traditional surgeries.<\/span><\/p>\n Internal Sphincterotomy<\/strong><\/p>\n There second technique for laser treatment for fissure is known as sphincterotomy. This is carried on the internal anal sphincter muscle, which is a part of the circular internal muscles that control the passage of faeces. The internal anal sphincter is one of the two muscles that make up the anal sphincter.<\/span><\/p>\n In this surgery, the sphincter is either partially divided with the help of a scalpel to reduce spasm and the resting pressure, without upsetting the use of the sphincter. This improves blood supply to the fissure area and helps it heal faster.<\/span><\/p>\n This technique is usually recommended for its simplicity and the fact that it causes a smaller wound. It’s highly effective with a success rate of around 95%. <\/span><\/p>\n However, if carried out by an inexperienced surgeon it can cause loss of control of sphincter tone.<\/span><\/p>\n Benefits of<\/strong> laser treatment for fissure<\/strong><\/p>\n FAQs<\/strong><\/p>\n What is a fissure?<\/strong><\/p>\n A fissure, also known as an anal fissure, is a slight cut or tear in the lining of the anus.
