Please advise what is the recovery like after having a lateral internal sphincterotomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Few days: This is generally performed for severe anal fissures.After this procedure, bowel movements should not be painful and associated bleeding should stop. The anal tissue is also a relatively fast healing area.
