Anal Warts, Fissure And Fistula Surgery

An anal fissure is a tear or ulcer in the lining of the anal canal, just inside the opening of your anus. They can be very painful, particularly when you are passing stools and for a while afterwards. Anal fissures can also cause minor bleeding, which you may notice in your stools or on your toilet paper.

An anal fistula is where a small channel (tract) develops between the anal canal (the last section of the large intestine) and the surface of the skin, near the anus (the opening where waste leaves the body). On the surface of the skin around the anus, one or more of the fistula ends may be seen as holes. An anal fistula is painful and can cause bleeding and discharge when passing stools.
