Hi Guys,
I was just thinking about this last night and wondered what is the main cause of discomfort following LIS surgery – Is it due to the fissure re-healing after surgery, the cut to the sphincter muscle, fissurectomy or the cleaning up of the fissure thickened edges?
My fissure is probably about 90% healed due to the partial success I have had with GTN and I don’t have a skin tag. I would imagine someone whose fissure is at its worst with a skin tag may take a little longer to heal. So once I have my surgery (14th March) I will naturally be posting my progress but can I just ask how severe your fissures were in the week leading up to surgery, what procedures were carried out and how long it took before you were symptom free (not completely healed just when you were completely pain free)
I just thought this information may be beneficial to others contemplating surgery and may give some further indications on healing time
