Fissure Cauterization
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi:
Has anyone had their anal fissure cauterized? I am over 4 weeks post-Botox and had my appointment with the CRS today. He says the Botox has helped to loosen the sphincter muscle and there is evidence of some healing. I am still having hours of pain after BMs (although it has lessened in intensity and duration) and he says it’s because the fissure is very large and deep. He does not recommend LIS since the Botox seems to have worked but he is recommending I have the fissure cauterized. He believes this will promote healing and reduce the pain. Anybody here had this done? If so, what was the recovery like? I have already taken so much time off work because of this thing. It seems never ending.....
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Vuki

Hi vuki
I believe your doctor is suggesting cauterization of sentinel pile or a skin tag associated with fissure. I had this procedure done. I had multiple sentinel piles. But i did not have fissure at th e time, 's i got this removed. I also had two haemorrhoids internal which were treated together with cauterization.
You will have painful BM. Cauterization means to burn the tissue either electrically or chemically.
My experience has not been good. I am on week 7 and am still healing. The wounds are not yet completely healed. These are the cauterization wounds.
One thing i can confirm is that it will cause pain during BM.
All the best with your procedure. You should discuss with your crs about pain management post cauterization. Go by what he suggests

Your recovery sounds like it’s been pretty terrible and I hope you feel much, much better very soon.
Thanks again. Vuki

Yes removal of skin tag is painful. I had a large one so my proctologist has cut it. For the smaller ones he has left it as it is. go with what your crs says. Lis is not the only solution. Check out the site from David rosenfeld. Solution depends on your current situation and how you are recovering. As per him if botox works lis is not required.
