Anorectal surgery

What it is

Anorectal Surgery

Anorectal surgery covers the operations of the anus and lower rectum. It is delicate surgery: the area is small, very sensitive and contains the muscles that give you bowel control. Technique and aftercare matter as much as the decision to operate.

Before any surgery you will know which procedure is proposed and why, what the alternatives are, what recovery looks like day by day and which risks apply to your case.

Procedures performed

Hemorrhoidectomy for advanced hemorrhoids
Fistulotomy, seton, LIFT and advancement flap
Lateral sphincterotomy for chronic fissure
Drainage of anal and perianal abscess
Removal of warts, skin tags and polyps; rectal prolapse repair

The diagnosis is confirmed at your evaluation.

Step by step

How the procedure goes

Evaluation

Exam, diagnosis and preoperative tests. Your medications are reviewed and adjusted.

Day of surgery

Admission to the hospital, spinal or general anesthesia and a procedure that usually takes under an hour.

Going home

Most patients leave the same day with pain medication, stool softeners and written instructions.

Follow-up

Scheduled visits to check healing until you are discharged.

Afterward

Recovery and aftercare

The first days are the most uncomfortable. Pain is controlled with scheduled medication, warm sitz baths and soft stools. Most people return to desk work in one to two weeks; full healing takes a few weeks longer, depending on the procedure.
