Private Anal Fissure Surgery

Fast, Effective Relief from Anal Fissures

At JAL Surgery, we provide expert diagnosis and Private treatment for anal fissure that have not improved with creams, dietary changes, or other non-surgical methods. Our consultant surgeons specialise in modern, safe techniques that relieve pain, promote healing, and reduce the risk of recurrence.

What is an Anal Fissure?

An anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anus. It can cause:

• Sharp pain during or after bowel movements
• Bright red bleeding on toilet paper or in the stool
• Spasms of the anal sphincter (tightening around the tear)
• Persistent discomfort, especially with chronic fissures

Most fissures heal with conservative measures, but chronic fissures often require surgical treatment to prevent ongoing pain and recurrence.

Types of Anal Fissure Surgery

Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy (LIS)

• The most common and effective surgical treatment.
• A small portion of the anal sphincter muscle is divided to reduce spasm and improve blood flow.
• High success rate with rapid symptom relief.

Fissurectomy

• Removal of the fissure and surrounding scar tissue.
• Often combined with sphincterotomy or botulinum toxin injection.
• Helps chronic fissures that fail other treatments.

Botulinum Toxin (Botox) Injection

• Temporarily relaxes the anal sphincter to allow healing.
• Less invasive, but slightly lower long-term success compared to LIS.
• Can be suitable for patients where sphincterotomy is not recommended.
