Laser Fissure Treatment
An anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anus, often caused by passing hard stools, chronic constipation, or straining during bowel movements. It leads to sharp pain, burning and sometimes bleeding during and after bowel movements. While minor fissures can heal with dietary changes, chronic or recurring fissures usually need surgical intervention for lasting relief.
At Dr. Ram's Advanced Surgical Hospital, we treat chronic anal fissures using laser-assisted treatment designed to relieve pain and reduce anal sphincter muscle spasm. The procedure is minimally invasive and aims to promote healing with less tissue trauma and a faster recovery compared with conventional surgery.
Why Choose Laser Treatment for Fissure?
Laser-assisted fissure treatment may help reduce discomfort and support healing while minimizing tissue damage. The exact procedure depends on the patient's condition and may involve sphincterotomy, which requires a controlled incision in the anal sphincter muscle. Your surgeon will recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your needs and recovery goals.
The procedure is performed as a day-care surgery under local or short general anesthesia. There's minimal bleeding, no open wound to manage, and patients typically go home the same day with simple aftercare instructions.
Post-procedure, patients are guided on a high-fiber diet, adequate hydration, and stool softeners to prevent recurrence. Most people resume normal daily activities within 2-3 days, much sooner than with traditional fissure surgery.
Benefits of Laser Fissure Surgery
- Minimal pain during and after the procedure
- No cuts, no stitches — precise laser-guided treatment
- Same-day discharge in most cases
- Faster healing and quicker return to daily routine
- Low risk of recurrence with proper aftercare
If you've been struggling with painful bowel movements, bleeding, or a fissure that won't heal on its own, don't wait for it to worsen. Book a consultation with Dr. Kamlesh Ram to discuss whether laser fissure treatment is right for you.
Treatment depends on your symptoms, examination findings and response to previous care. Some fissures improve with prescribed medicines and measures to keep stools soft. If a procedure is recommended, Dr. Kamlesh Ram will explain how it works, its alternatives, possible risks and recovery requirements.
