Piles Fissure Fistula Surgery
Anorectal conditions like Piles (Hemorrhoids), Fissure, and Fistula are among the most common yet uncomfortable surgical problems affecting millions. Dr. Parvati R. Falegaonkar offers effective, minimally invasive surgical solutions to provide lasting relief and improved quality of life.
Piles (Hemorrhoids)
Piles are swollen and inflamed blood vessels inside or around the rectum and anus. They can be internal (inside the rectum) or external (under the skin around the anus).
Symptoms
- Rectal bleeding (bright red blood during bowel movements)
- Itching or irritation around the anal area
- Pain or discomfort, especially while sitting
- Swelling around the anus
- A lump near the anus that may be sensitive
Treatment
Depending on the grade of piles, treatment options include:
- Rubber Band Ligation – cuts off blood supply to the hemorrhoid, causing it to shrink and fall off
- Sclerotherapy – injection of a chemical solution to shrink internal hemorrhoids
- Laser Surgery (Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty) – a minimally invasive procedure using laser energy to shrink and coagulate hemorrhoidal tissue with minimal pain, no cuts, and faster recovery
- Surgical Hemorrhoidectomy – conventional surgical removal for advanced or large hemorrhoids
Anal Fissure
An anal fissure is a small tear in the thin, moist tissue lining the anus. It typically causes pain and bleeding during bowel movements.
Symptoms
- Sharp pain during and after bowel movements
- Bright red blood on the stool or toilet paper
- A visible crack or tear in the skin around the anus
- A small lump near the fissure
Treatment
Treatment options for anal fissure include:
- Topical medications – ointments to relax the sphincter muscle and promote healing
- Botulinum toxin injection – temporary relaxation of the internal sphincter to allow healing
- Laser Surgery – laser energy is used to precisely treat the fissure and promote tissue healing with minimal discomfort and quicker recovery
- Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy (LIS) – a minimally invasive surgical procedure that relieves sphincter spasm and promotes healing of chronic fissures
Anal Fistula
An anal fistula is an abnormal tunnel connecting the inside of the anal canal to the skin outside the anus, often resulting from a previous anorectal abscess.
Symptoms
- Persistent drainage of pus or blood near the anus
- Pain and swelling around the anus
- Fever and feeling unwell in acute cases
- Irritated skin around the anal area
Treatment
Treatment depends on the type and complexity of the fistula:
- Fistulotomy – surgical opening of the fistula tract to allow it to heal from the inside out
- Seton Placement – a thread placed through the fistula to gradually cut through tissue and encourage healing
- LIFT (Ligation of Intersphincteric Fistula Tract) – sphincter-preserving technique for complex fistulas
- Laser Surgery – a modern, minimally invasive technique where laser energy seals and destroys the fistula tract, preserving the sphincter and offering reduced pain, minimal scarring, and faster return to normal activities
