Haemorrhoid, Fissure and Fistula Procedures
Surgical and procedural treatment for haemorrhoids, anal fissures and perianal fistulas.
What it involves
Treatment for haemorrhoids, anal fissure and fistula varies depending on the specific condition and its severity, ranging from minor procedures to surgery performed under anaesthesia. The approach is planned according to examination findings.
Why it may be recommended
These procedures may be recommended when symptoms such as bleeding, pain, discharge or swelling persist despite conservative treatment, or where examination findings indicate a condition better managed surgically.
Preparing for surgery
Follow the fasting instructions provided for your operation. The practice should be informed of all regular medication.
What to expect afterwards
Recovery time varies depending on the size and type of hernia repaired and the surgical approach used. You will receive specific guidance on activity, lifting and return to work before you leave hospital.
Day case or hospital admission
Many anal procedures can be performed as day cases. More complex fistula surgery may require a short hospital stay, depending on individual circumstances.
