Had been suffering from an anal fissure for about 1year. Finally in February of this year decided to go ahead with the Sphincterotomy as recommended by my colorectal surgeon.The surgery was not successful as the guy was ultra conservative with his cutting.Suffered again for a few months hoping for the fissure to heal.Finally as the symptoms got worse went to see a second CRS.He recommended a repeat LIS and fissurectomy and tag removal.After the second surgery I noticed a tremendous difference in my symptoms.No more pain during bowel movements,no burning sensation.However I still get some blood on the paper every few days.Saw my colorectal surgeon today who says I am healing slowly (about 90 percent healed) and it is the remaining unsealed fissure that is causing the bleeding.he says that my LIS site is also not fully healed.Beside the bleeding my other problem is I cannot sit for any extended period and pain while passing gas. I was wondering if anyone has any input.
