Brief Answer:
Surgery is definitely effective
Detailed Answer:
Hi
If you have used up all the conservative measures like Allopathic and homeopathy medications you should directly go for interventions now without delay. It could be botulinum injections or sphincterotomy. It is important to understand the location of the fissure and the reason for non healing before deciding on the kind of intervention (surgery).
Most likely there would be high pressure at the sphincter and low blood supply to the base of the fissure that reasons the slow healing or non healing. Current interventions or surgery is aimed at reducing resting anal pressure by diminishing sphincter tone and improving blood supply at the site of the fissure, thus promoting the healing rate.
So it should be effective for you and I am sure you can lead better quality of life which you were missing for past 6 to 7 years.
All the best.
