Does Anal Fissure Surgery Need A Repeat Operation?
I recently had an operation for fissure and it has now been almost 2 months but I am still in pain when I pass a motion. The surgeon now tells me that when he operated me the fissure was a significant one as it had been there for a long time. Therefore, I will need another operation. Do you think I need another operation and are there any side effects like becoming incontinent?

Hello,
More than 90% of fissures, heal after lateral internal sphincterotomy. If sphincter pressure is not controlled and suffering from repeated fissure which is not controlled by medication, need repeat surgery. Please consult your surgeon he will examine, and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
