LATERAL INTERNAL SPHINCTEROTOMY

by Bryan1981, Nov 09, 2009 05:28PM
I had a Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy last monday. My dr. didnt give me very much details about the surgery. Just that it was a simple cut that needed to be made. Afterwards I read more about the surgery and didnt like what i read.

My question is since they cut the internal sphincter muscle... does this make your anus "lose"

The spincter muscle is cut to relax the muscle so that the anal fissure heals.  I had my surgery on Nov. 11th.  Still having issues with some pain, but the pain meds are working well.  I'm not sure how long all of this will take to heal, but I'm glad the surgery is behind me now.  I have suffered for almost a year.
