Anal fissure surgery takes between 10 minutes and 30 minutes under spinal (epidural) anesthesia.

The causes of anal fissures include constipation and chronic diarrhea, and pressure on the anus during pregnancy and birth. In some cases, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and sexually transmitted diseases can cause anal fissure.

Symptoms include severe and sharp pain when defecating and these pains lasting between 1 and 4 hours, bleeding, itching and burning sensation in the area where the tear is located, sensitivity in the anal area, cracks that can be seen around the anus, and difficulty in going to the toilet.
