Fissure

Fissures are painful tears or cuts in the lining of the anal canal. Common causes include constipation, hard stools, straining during bowel movements, and prolonged diarrhea. Dr. Kunal Chhatbar, a skilled general and laparoscopic surgeon, would typically recommend conservative treatments such as fiber supplements, stool softeners, and topical medications to promote healing and alleviate symptoms.

In cases where non-surgical methods prove ineffective, Dr. Chhatbar may suggest minimally invasive procedures like sphincterotomy, a surgical technique that involves cutting the anal sphincter muscle to relieve pressure and promote healing. As a specialist in the field, Dr. Chhatbar's approach is likely to prioritize patient comfort and long-term relief in the management of anal fissures.
