Anal fissure or fissure-in-ano is a common anorectal condition that affects the area around the anus called the mucosa. While an acute anal fissure could be treated using medicines and other precautions, a chronic fissure almost always requires surgical intervention.

It is a USFDA-approved minimally invasive procedure that allows the patient to recover faster. In addition, Pristyn Care proctologists have over 8-10 years of experience treating anorectal diseases and performing laser surgeries. As a result, our proctologists have high surgery success rates and have established significant trust among our patients.

Anal fissures can be caused by various reasons like chronic diarrhea, chronic constipation, injuries, and underlying conditions like Crohn’s disease, anal cancer, STDs, etc.
There are 2 main types of Anal Fissure:
Pristyn Care proctologists are highly experienced and may diagnose an anal fissure with a physical examination. However, the doctor may prescribe additional tests to diagnose the condition correctly and rule out complications. The standard diagnostic tests for anal fissures include Sigmoidoscopy, Anoscopy, and Colonoscopy.
If your anal fissure doesn’t heal with medication and other treatments, it could indicate a chronic condition. Laser-assisted surgery is one of the most effective treatments for chronic anal fissures. During this procedure, the patient is first administered general or local anesthesia. Then, once he is asleep, the surgeon uses the laser probe that emits laser radiation to heal the tears in the mucosa. This treatment is a daycare procedure, and the patient can go home the same day unless the doctor advises otherwise.
While preparing for the surgery, it is essential to follow all instructions given by your doctor to ensure that your recovery process is on track.
The recovery process after the anal fissure laser surgery varies for different individuals. It may take 30 to 45 days to recover from an anal fissure laser surgery completely. Therefore, in your first month of recovery, you must ensure the following:

Note: Patient details changed for privacy.
Rizwan, a 28-year-old male from Gurgaon, had been suffering from anal fissures for some time, making his daily life uncomfortable. He also suffered from constipation and didn’t get much relief from medication as his fissures would always return. Eventually, his condition became chronic and resulted in severe pain daily.
After in-depth research online, he came across Pristyn Care. He contacted Pristyn Care, and the medical care coordinator booked his appointment with Dr. Aman Priya Khanna after a detailed conversation. At his appointment, Dr. Aman took Rizwan through his condition and patiently answered all of his questions. He told Rizwan about his treatment options and suggested laser anal fissure surgery. Rizwan was very nervous about the idea of surgery as he had never had a surgical procedure done before. However, Dr. Aman and the medical care coordinator ensured Rizwan that the surgery would be the most efficient way to deal with his condition and reduce the recurrence risk. In addition, Dr. Aman informed Rizwan that the surgery would be painless and involve minimal blood loss. After this discussion, Rizwan felt at ease and decided to go for the surgery.
Pristyn Care provided free pick-up and drop cab services on the day of his surgery and took care of Rizwan’s documentation and insurance approval. As a result, he felt at ease and didn’t need to run around to get everything done. He had a smooth surgery with no complications and was discharged on the same day.
Rizwan fully recovered after his surgery, and his condition has not since recurred. Throughout his time with Pristyn Care, Rizwan felt supported and had a great experience overall.
You can treat anal fissures to some extent with the help of the following:
You can treat acute fissures with ointments that contain nitroglycerin like Rectiv, which helps increase blood flow to the fissure and promote healing. Additionally, you can use topical anesthetics like lidocaine for pain relief.
If you notice an anal fissure, scheduling a doctor’s appointment is crucial as untreated fissures could become a chronic condition. Moreover, recurring anal fissures can point toward a more significant issue.
The treatment for anal fissures depends on their type. For example, medications can treat an acute anal fissure; however, chronic fissures are better treated with surgical intervention like laser fissure surgery.
For the most part, anal fissure surgeries are successful, and the patient is satisfied. However, like any other surgery, there could be potential complications during the surgical process. Some of the complications and contradictions that can occur can include:
There are some treatments outside of laser surgery that may provide relief from anal fissures. These include the following:
Lifestyle changes: Making lifestyle changes like exercising, consuming a high fiber diet, and drinking adequate water can be your first line of defense against anal fissures.
Fiber supplements: Anal fissures can get worse due to hard and dry stools, but a high fiber intake can help with regular bowel movements. In addition to consuming foods like oat bran, beans, nuts, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, you can consult your doctor for fiber supplements.
Non-surgical Options: Before recommending surgical treatments, the doctor will treat the anal fissure through non-surgical options. These are as follows:
Surgical Options: Lateral Internal Sphinterectomy (LIS) is a type of surgical option for anal fissures which involves cutting a small portion of the anal sphincter muscle to help reduce spasms and pain and promote healing. This surgical route is taken when a fissure does not respond to medications and other treatments.
The anal fissure surgery cost in India generally ranges between Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 30,000. This is the estimated anal fissure surgery cost and it can vary from person to person. The final cost is subject to vary based on some factors. In general, the following factors lead to a variation in the cost of laser fissure surgery in India:
