Surgical Treatment for Anal Fissure
Surgical intervention for anal fissures is considered when conservative treatments like dietary changes, topical medications, and sitz baths fail. The goal is to reduce sphincter spasm and promote healing, often through procedures such as lateral internal sphincterotomy. Surgery provides long-term relief and prevents chronic fissure formation.
