Radiowave treatment of anal fissures

An anal fissure is a defect of the anal mucosa, which is a wound formed as a result of its rupture. The defect is most commonly found on the anterior and posterior walls of the anal canal, much less commonly in the lateral part.

In the list of proctologic diseases, this pathology is the third most common (after hemorrhoids and paraproctitis). There is no clear relationship between age and gender, but the pathology is somewhat more common among young and middle-aged women.

Anal fissures can be acute and chronic. If left untreated, the acute form becomes chronic in about 30-40 days. Connective tissue grows along the edges of the wound, which gradually becomes denser, loses elasticity and becomes a favorable environment for pathogenic microbes. Over time, persistent trophic changes occur in pathological areas, and coarse scar tissue is formed.

The formation of cracks is always accompanied by discomfort and pain, so the pathology cannot go unnoticed for a long time and not cause concern.

Causes of anal fissures:

injuries of the mucous membrane;

frequent constipation and/or diarrhea;

congenital abnormalities of the intestines;

hemorrhoids;

sphincter spasms caused by pathologies of the nervous system;

chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (gastritis, colitis, gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer, cholecystitis).

The main symptoms of anal fissures:

intense burning pain during (and after) bowel movements;

itching in the anus after bowel movements;

slight bleeding (traces of blood remain on the underwear, toilet paper);

sphincter spasms, which provoke even more intense pain.

Diagnosis of anal fissures

During the visit, the proctologist will systematize your complaints, take anamnesis and conduct an examination using a finger examination of the lower rectum. An anoscopy is prescribed to exclude diagnostic errors. Similar symptoms are observed in paraproctitis, Crohn’s disease, tumors of the rectum and anal canal, endometriosis.

In the acute form, the doctor will find a linear or elliptical mucosal defect with irregular edges.

A chronic anal fissure is characterized by enlarged, smoothed wound edges with pronounced signs of granulation (fibrous changes).

Types of treatment of anal fissures

Conservative and surgical methods are used. A positive effect of conservative treatment is achieved in 70% of diagnosed cases of the acute form of the disease. The therapeutic course includes:

laxatives;

drugs to relieve spasm of the rectal sphincter;

local anesthetics.

If the therapy does not give a positive effect, the proctologist will prescribe a radio wave treatment.

Radio wave treatment of anal fissures in Med-Atlante

The surgical minimally invasive method of treating anal fissures with a radio wave scalpel has advantages:

An outpatient procedure means that a person leaves the clinic immediately after it, and there is no need for a hospital stay.

Accuracy and efficiency – the effect of radio waves only on the crack, no other tissues are affected, no bleeding.

The doctor’s skill – the doctor’s experience in surgery allows him to successfully perform these and more complex interventions.

QUESTION-ANSWER

Advantages of using the radio wave method to treat anal fissures.

The undeniable advantages are:

outpatient care – there is no need for a long stay in the clinic;
absence of bleeding;
no trauma to healthy tissues around;
efficiency.

What are the indications for using radio wave treatment of anal fissures?

Indications are the ineffectiveness of conservative therapy for chronic anal fissures.

How is radio wave treatment of anal fissures performed?

The surgical intervention is outpatient and does not require special preparation (except for a mandatory preliminary examination and diagnosis at a consultation with a proctologist, other examinations as indicated). Radio wave treatment of anal fissure is performed with local anesthesia. The whole procedure lasts up to 20 minutes.
