Important Information About the Anal Fissure Procedure
An anal fissure is a condition that causes severe pain and spasms during bowel movements, and initial treatment options are often ineffective. In cases of anal bleeding, Dr. Ehab Lotfy—a consultant in anorectal surgery—turns to surgery as a final resort; it is one of the key methods for treating anal fissures.
Laser surgery for hemorrhoids (LIS) is considered one of the most modern surgical techniques; it involves cutting a small portion of the anal sphincter muscle, which relieves spasms and reduces the pain associated with bowel movements. This procedure is characterized by the absence of an external incision, as a laser is used to shrink the muscle. This allows the patient to leave on the same day without visible surgical marks. Thanks to these advantages,
laser surgery for anal fissures is considered the ideal choice for the rapid and effective treatment of this chronic condition.
