About Endoscopic Anorectal Surgery

Endoscopic Anorectal Surgery is a modern, minimally invasive technique used to treat various anorectal disorders such as piles (hemorrhoids), fissures, fistulas, and abscesses. The use of high-definition endoscopes allows surgeons to visualize the anal canal and rectum internally, ensuring precise diagnosis and targeted treatment with minimal pain and faster healing.

Conditions Treated

• Piles (Hemorrhoids): Swollen veins in the rectum or anus causing pain, itching, and bleeding.
• Anal Fissure: A small tear in the lining of the anus causing severe pain and bleeding during bowel movements.
• Anal Fistula: An abnormal tunnel between the anal canal and skin around the anus, often due to infection.
• Perianal Abscess: A collection of pus caused by infection in anal glands.

Advantages of Endoscopic Surgery

• Minimally invasive and virtually painless procedure
• No large cuts or stitches
• Faster healing and shorter hospital stay
• Precise visualization ensures complete treatment
• Low risk of recurrence and infection
• Excellent cosmetic and functional outcomes

Procedure Overview

1. Preoperative Evaluation: Detailed examination, proctoscopy, or colonoscopy if needed to assess disease severity.
2. Anesthesia: Usually performed under short general or spinal anesthesia.
3. Endoscopic Visualization: A camera-equipped endoscope is inserted into the anal canal for a magnified view.
4. Treatment: Diseased tissue is treated or removed using specialized instruments or laser.
5. Recovery: Most patients go home the same day and resume normal activities within a few days.

Postoperative Care

• Maintain good hygiene and take prescribed sitz baths
• Eat a high-fiber diet and drink plenty of fluids
• Use prescribed stool softeners to avoid straining
• Follow-up appointments to ensure complete healing

Why Early Treatment Matters

Delaying treatment for anorectal diseases can lead to chronic pain, bleeding, infection, and recurrence. Endoscopic surgery offers a modern, patient-friendly solution that ensures quick recovery with minimal downtime.
