What is Fissure?

What are the Types of Fissure?

There are two types of Fissures

  1. ACUTE FISSRE- When fissure occurs recently means fissure of below one-month period can be considered as acute fissure which don’t need any special surgical treatments.

  2. CHRONIC ANAL FISSURE- In chronic fissures, the patient may require a dilatation surgery (sphincterolysis) in conjunction with the aforesaid medicine. This sphincterolysis treatment is based on the patient's condition and is performed using agnikarma (laser sphincterolysis), digital sphincterolysis, or sphincterolysis with a cataract knife. These methods relax the sphincter tone immediately, and the patient has pain reduction when passing stools within two day. All of these operations may be performed under local anesthesia in a day care facility. Patients can go home within 2 hours of the treatment and resume normal activities the next day. Dr. Arulpathy Murugesan, our leading proctologist, devised a revolutionary painless and bloodless method for anal fissures and trained numerous physicians from throughout the nation. We are glad to claim that we prevented surgery for numerous patients.
