What is an Anal Fissure?
A tear in the thin, moist tissue that lines the anus. Common causes of an anal fissure include constipation and straining or passing large or hard stools. Anal fissures often cause pain and bleeding during bowel movements. You may also feel spasms in the ring of muscle at the end of your anus, called the anal sphincter.
What treatment do we offer?
Laser technique for anal fissure surgery: anal fissure can be treated by performing laser curettage of the bloody area of the fissure, or a controlled sphincterotomy with greater precision and hemostasis, which gives us better healing with this innovative treatment.
Treatment of anal fissure with botulinum toxin
The treatment consists of injecting Botox into the internal anal sphincter, which causes relaxation of the sphincter without requiring an incision, as occurs in operations, facilitating healing of the tear. The patient will notice rapid improvement during the first 48 hours.
