Laser Fissurectomy
Laser Fissurectomy
An anal fissure is a painful tear in the lining of the anal canal that commonly causes severe pain during bowel movements, bleeding, burning, and muscle spasms. While many acute fissures heal with medications, dietary changes, and lifestyle modifications, chronic fissures often require surgical treatment. Laser Fissurectomy is a modern, minimally invasive procedure that effectively removes the chronic fissure while promoting faster healing with minimal discomfort.

What is Laser Fissurectomy?
Laser Fissurectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat chronic anal fissures that do not respond to conservative treatment. During the procedure, laser energy is used to remove unhealthy fissure tissue while preserving the surrounding healthy tissues.
The laser also seals small blood vessels, resulting in minimal bleeding and reduced postoperative discomfort.
A Laser Fissurectomy in Vasant Kunj helps relieve pain, improve healing, and significantly reduce the chances of recurrent fissures.
