Advanced Anorectal Surgery

Anorectal surgery treats disorders that affect the anus, rectum, and pelvic floor. The surgical options vary in complexity. Some are minor operations that need only day treatment or one night's stay. Others are more complex and require 2-3 days in the hospital. Ambulatory anorectal surgery proves safer and more efficient than inpatient procedures. It also leads to high patient satisfaction. 

This article explains what patients need to know before they have anorectal surgery. It covers all the bases, from getting ready and the different types of procedures to how long it takes to get back on your feet and the possible risks. This info helps patients make good decisions about their treatment.

Types of Anorectal Surgery Procedures

Patients can choose from various treatment options. These include: 

  • Conventional hemorrhoidectomy: Doctors cut out haemorrhoids with a scalpel or surgical scissors. 
  • Stapled hemorrhoidopexy: Surgeons use a circular stapler to take out extra tissue and move haemorrhoids back into place.
  • Laser hemorrhoidectomy: Your doctor shrinks or removes your haemorrhoids with laser light, causing less pain & bleeding.
  • Anoplasty: With the help of this surgery your doctor repairs or reconstructs the anal canal.
  • Fistulotomy: This procedure opens and cleans the fistula tract, allowing it to heal naturally from the inside out.
  • Fistulectomy: In this method, the entire fistula tract is removed to prevent recurrence and promote complete healing.
  • Anal fissure surgery (Lateral internal sphincterotomy): Your doctor will make a small incision in your anal sphincter to reduce tension (which causes faster healing of your fissures).
  • Abscess drainage: Involves opening and draining pus-filled abscesses near the anal area to relieve pain and prevent infection spread.

Note that your doctor may recommend any of the procedures after considering your physical status and priorities.

Before Surgery Preparation

  • Your surgeon will first do a detailed examination and diagnostic tests. 
  • You need to stop taking blood thinners, aspirin, and dietary supplements a week before surgery. 
  • The procedure requires 8 hours of fasting. 
  • Two rectal enemas about an hour before heading to the hospital will clear your rectal area.

Anorectal Surgical Procedure

Anorectal surgeries usually take about 30–60 minutes. The surgeon operates under anaesthesia to remove or repair the affected tissue in the anal or rectal area. The goal is to relieve pain, correct structural issues, and restore normal function. With improved blood flow and reduced pressure, healing occurs smoothly over time.

Post-surgery Recovery

  • Most patients need 4-6 weeks to heal fully. 
  • Pain is mild, which responds well to pain relief drugs.
  • Warm sitz baths help ease discomfort, especially after bowel movements. 
  • A high-fibre diet and plenty of fluids will keep your stools soft.
