Anal Surgery: Treatments for Hemorrhoids, Fistulas, Fissures, Condylomas & More

Proctology: Caring for Your Anal and Rectal Health

Coloproctology is a subspecialty of general surgery dedicated to diagnosing and treating diseases of the anus, rectum, and perianal region, including conditions that cause anal pain. Many people delay seeking medical attention due to embarrassment or lack of information, which can worsen their condition. In our clinic, we offer specialized, discreet, and effective care to help you regain your well-being.

Below, we explain the most common conditions and the available treatments:

Hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids are dilated veins in the anal canal that can cause discomfort such as pain, bleeding, itching, and prolapse (when the hemorrhoid protrudes from the anus). This is a common condition that affects both men and women.

Treatment options:

• Conservative methods: Dietary changes, topical creams, and medications to relieve symptoms.

• Minimally invasive procedures: Rubber band ligation or sclerotherapy.

• Surgery: In advanced cases, hemorrhoidectomy is performed using specialized devices that enhance precision and reduce recovery time.

Anal Fissure

Anal fissures are small tears in the skin of the anus, usually caused by constipation or straining during bowel movements. They cause severe pain during and after defecation, as well as bleeding.

Treatment options:

• Non-surgical treatments: Relaxing creams for the anal sphincter and adjustments to bowel habits.

• Surgery: In chronic cases or when non-surgical treatments have not been effective, an internal lateral sphincterotomy may be performed to relieve tension and facilitate healing.

Anal Fistula

Anal fistulas are abnormal connections between the inside of the anus and the surrounding skin, often developing after an anal abscess. They can cause pain, inflammation, and persistent discharge.

Treatment options:

• Surgery: The primary treatment, including techniques such as fistulotomy or the use of setons for gradual healing.

• Modern advancements: In selected candidates, fibrin glue or biological plugs can be used, minimizing complications and promoting optimal recovery.

Anal Condyloma

Anal condylomas are warts caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). These lesions can be bothersome and, in some cases, increase the risk of anal cancer.

Treatment options:

• Surgical removal: Excision with an electrosurgical scalpel for precise and effective lesion removal.

• Medical follow-up: Essential to detect possible recurrences and prevent complications.

Anal Abscess

An anal abscess is a painful, inflamed collection of pus near the anus. If not treated properly, it can develop into an anal fistula.

Treatment options:

• Surgical drainage: A fundamental procedure to relieve pain and prevent complications.

• Follow-up care: Medical evaluation to ensure complete healing and prevent the formation of fistulas.

Pilonidal Sinus

A pilonidal sinus or cyst is a chronic infection in the sacrococcygeal region caused by the accumulation of hair under the skin, which can lead to abscesses or fistulous tracts.

Treatment options:

• Minor surgery: Abscess drainage to relieve symptoms and avoid complications.

• Definitive surgery: Complete removal of the pilonidal tract to prevent recurrence.
