Has anyone got an anterior fissure (one closest to your vagina rather than your spine)?
Thats where my fissure is, with a massive skin tag underneath. My GP told me when I went to see her today that I need to call the hospital and push to get an appointment as the fissure has got much deeper and she thinks I need to get it operated on. She's recommended that I get the skin tag and fissure cut out (fissurectomy) and then do what my CRS recommended, which is to get a stretch rather than LIS. (reason being that he believes LIS is too risky on girls my age)
I told her I was really worried about the stretch and she said that it was fine in the right hands and that the CRS was a renowned expert so I could trust his opinion. Having done a bit more reading I'm starting to think that the reason he's suggested this procedure over LIS is not so much that I am a girl but that I'm a girl and have my fissure anteriorly. There's not as much sphincter muscle there apparently so it's much easier to render someone incontinent.
So my question is, has anyone (particularly any ladies) had a fissure in that position that has been operated on or is going to be operated on? And if so what has your doctor suggested you have done?
