Fissure Surgery

Fissures can cause intense discomfort and make everyday activities difficult. At Harsh Hospital, under the expert guidance of Dr. Ravindra Chhajed, we offer effective treatment for chronic or non-healing fissures through advanced medical and surgical options. Our goal is to help you return to a pain-free life with minimal discomfort and fast recovery.

What Is a Fissure?

A fissure is a small tear or cut in the skin near the opening of the back passage. This condition is often triggered by constipation, straining during bowel movements, chronic diarrhea, or trauma. Fissures can be short-term (acute) or long-lasting (chronic), and in both cases, timely treatment is important to avoid further complications.

Common Signs You May Have a Fissure:

• Sharp or burning pain during or after passing stool
• Bright red bleeding with bowel movements
• A visible cut or sore near the back passage
• Discomfort that doesn’t improve with home remedies

If you're experiencing these symptoms, it's time to seek professional care.

Fissure Care at Harsh Hospital – Step-by-Step Approach

Diagnosis

• Thorough clinical examination by an experienced surgeon
• If needed, we perform a proctoscopy to assess the tear and rule out other conditions such as piles or infections

Non-Surgical Management

For early or mild cases, we begin with conservative treatment:

• Medicated creams to ease pain and support healing
• Warm sitz baths to relax the area and promote blood flow
• A fiber-rich diet and plenty of fluids to ease bowel movements
• Stool softeners or laxatives to reduce strain

We closely monitor progress to ensure effective healing and prevent recurrence.

Surgical Treatment for Chronic Fissures

When fissures do not heal with medication, surgery is often the best option for long-term relief. Dr. Ravindra Chhajed offers:

Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy (LIS)

• A minor surgical procedure to release muscle tension near the tear
• Reduces pain and allows faster healing
• Excellent success rate with low recurrence

Laser Fissure Surgery

• Minimally invasive and highly effective
• Less pain, minimal bleeding, and quicker recovery
• Most patients return home the same day
