Piles/Fissure/Fistula Surgery

Piles (Hemorrhoids), Fissure, and Fistula Surgery refers to different surgical procedures aimed at treating these common anorectal conditions, which can cause discomfort, pain, and other complications in the anal and rectal regions. Each condition affects different parts of the anal canal and requires a specific type of surgery based on severity and symptoms.

Piles Surgery (Hemorrhoidectomy)

Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, are swollen blood vessels in the rectum or anus that cause pain, itching, and sometimes bleeding. Piles can be internal (inside the rectum) or external (under the skin around the anus).

Fissure Surgery (Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy)

Anal fissures are small tears or cuts in the lining of the anus, often caused by straining during bowel movements, constipation, or trauma. Fissures can cause sharp pain, bleeding, and discomfort during and after bowel movements.

Fistula Surgery (Fistulotomy or Fistulectomy)

An anal fistula is an abnormal tunnel that forms between the inside of the anal canal and the skin near the anus. It is often caused by an infection or abscess that did not heal properly, leading to a chronic drainage pathway.

Common benefits of Piles/Fissure/Fistula Surgery
  • Pain Relief: Surgery provides significant relief from the chronic pain associated with piles, fissures, and fistulas, particularly during bowel movements.
  • Resolution of Symptoms: Bleeding, itching, and discomfort caused by hemorrhoids or fissures are effectively reduced or eliminated post-surgery. Fistula surgery resolves infection, discharge, and drainage issues, improving overall anal health.
  • Prevention of Complications: By addressing the root cause of the condition (such as removing hemorrhoids or healing a fissure), surgery helps prevent future complications like infections, abscesses, or further tissue damage.
  • Faster Healing: Surgical interventions can lead to faster healing compared to conservative treatments, especially in chronic or severe cases that don’t respond to medications or lifestyle changes.
  • Improved Bowel Movements: After surgery, patients typically experience smoother and less painful bowel movements, reducing strain and the risk of further damage to the rectal area.
  • Reduced Recurrence: Surgical procedures, especially for hemorrhoids and fistulas, significantly lower the chances of recurrence compared to non-surgical treatments.
  • Improved Quality of Life: Patients can resume their normal daily activities with fewer limitations, leading to an overall improvement in quality of life due to the absence of chronic discomfort and pain.
  • Minimally Invasive Options: For many conditions, minimally invasive techniques (such as laser surgery for piles or fistulas) lead to quicker recovery, less post-operative pain, and smaller scars.

These surgeries are effective treatments for chronic or severe cases of piles, fissures, or fistulas, providing relief from pain and preventing further complications.
