Understanding
Sphincterotomy
Lateral internal sphincterotomy is a surgical procedure utilized to address anal fissures. These small tears in the tissue lining of the anus often cause bleeding and discomfort during bowel movements. The internal anal sphincter muscle remains under continuous tension, and heightened pressure can either prompt the development of anal fissures or hinder the healing of existing ones. If you’re seeking sphincterotomy options in Texas, our skilled specialists are available to assist. Connect with Specialized Gastroenterology and Medical Associates to arrange a consultation with our gastroenterology experts and find solutions to your inquiries.

While many instances of anal fissures may naturally heal with time or home treatments, lateral internal sphincterotomy is appropriate when non-surgical methods prove ineffective in resolving the fissure.

How Sphincterotomy Works
In Texas, our providers perform sphincterotomy as an outpatient procedure, using local or general anesthesia. A small incision is made in the internal anal sphincter to reduce muscle pressure, promoting the healing of the fissure. The incision is closed with dissolvable stitches or left open for natural healing. As with any surgery, lateral internal sphincterotomy carries potential risks like incontinence, pain, bleeding, infection, and difficulty urinating. Consult with our Specialized Gastroenterology and Medical Associates gastroenterologist to thoroughly discuss the benefits and risks.
