I'm on the fence with LIS. My CRS pretty much told me it's up to me as the fissure was not deep but since it keeps coming back it's more of a nuisance and surgery will get rid of it for good. He made the surgery sound like a no brainer. I know I'm a chicken but I really would like to stay away from surgery if possible but I am getting quite annoyed by this demon. From reading others who had LIS, it sounds like the post-opt pain is worst than my current fissure pain so I'm a bit scared.
I'm looking for a second opinion and wanted to know if any of you had a good experience with a CRS that does many LIS or handle many AF cases. My CRS seems to focus more on Colon Cancer and other benign anal diseases and AF seems to be on the backburner.
