... now go in about once a month for silver nitrate treatments to get the last little bit healed. So I have leakage of some kind that is possibly the "keyhole" of unhealed tissues leaking or discharge. Just had another SN treatment and I rear of sore. The leaking has been an issue, but more or less ...

... -- yikes -- perhaps smelling as though I need a diaper change!). What I fear is that my surgeon did a posterior cut, and that I have the dreaded keyhole sphincter now! The one that leaks the most easily, whereby one almost never feels fully voided or clean. That is the only place that I still ...

... clean especially when walking or it gets irritated. It's improved a lot since surgery but I still have it... Elizabeth, I'm not sure about the keyhole deformaty. As far as I know that happens when the incision is made top or bottom of the anus, not right or left as is done in LIS. Here's a ...

... irritation after BMs. I use Balneol to make sure the area is very clean after BMs. It sucks.

There's a thread "8 months post up with leakage" (or close to that title) where you can see what many of us have experienced. I never had anything green or yellow with my leakage. I know some of the fissurect...

Hey longordeal, I read every thread on here prior to my LIS 9 months ago and I don't recall anyone posting about a keyhole deformity. There may be something I missed though. There's one person who stands out in my mind who had a LIS incision where I believe would be at 6'oclock. ...

Hello hopetoheal, Thanks for your reply. I have read the same thing about the posterior superficial midline sphincterotomy - that it is not recommended exactly because of this. Ironically, however, the CRS that I saw after my surgery (I moved) said that the first surgeon who performed the surgery (w...

Hi Longordeal - I haven't read any accounts of a keyhole deformity on this forum. I will keep my eyes open and let you know if I see anything. Every post I've seen that talks about fissure surgery discusses LISs. My understanding is that sphincterotomies ...
