Lateral Sphincterotomy – Stages of the Operation at the "Top Ichilov" Medical Center
The operation involves excising the fissure along with a section of fibrotic tissue, regional skin, and partial incision of the internal sphincter. The operation lasts 30 minutes, but despite its short duration, it is performed under general anesthesia, as the anal area is well innervated with pain receptors.
After the operation, the patient is hospitalized for one day and then discharged home. During the healing period of the surgical wound, a light diet and the use of laxatives are necessary. A visit to a colorectal surgeon is required to monitor tissue regeneration.
In the following six months, it is recommended to limit physical activity and maintain a proper diet. An important aspect is a balanced diet and the prevention of constipation.
