What is the medical term meaning an incision into or division of a sphincter muscle?
sphincterotomysurgical attachment of a fascia to another fascia or tendonAn incision into or a division of a sphincter muscles is known as a sphincterotomy. Usually reserved for treatment of an anal fissure,sphincterotomysphincterotomyA cut into the muscle that controls the anus. The sphincter is the anus opening.
Is it necessary to use an enema before a sphincterotomy Won't the miralax cleanse the day before do the same thing?
An enema is still the preoperative standard. A Miralax cleanse is not sufficient in the vast majority of cases.
What is difference between the sphincterotomy and sphincterectomy?
The suffix -otomy means cutting in to, not necessarily cutting out. The suffic -ectomy means cutting out. So a spincterotomy would be cutting into the spincter and a sphincterectomy would be removal of the sphincter
Should you have pain after 2 weeks post lateral sphincterotomy?
I'm two weeks post op and although I'm mostly healed (from the surgery at least) i still feel a little pain now and then...I've just been using a little Valium and the occasional ibuprofen--I've barely touched the percocet the surgeon prescribed (I've taken 3 out of the 50), but I know somebody else who is 3 weeks post op and is having lots of complications. I don't think there can truly be one answer that covers everybody. If it's truly bothersome I would contact my surgeon or at least my primary if I were you.
Can anal fissures cause death?
If the fissure continues to expand and becomes infected due to faecal contact, certain pathogens could expand, directly affecting blood and weakening the immune system. Typically an anal fissure - a ripping or tear of the sphincter, may eventually heal itself, with proper maintenance and medication. However, some fissures, particularly ones which have passed beyond the sphincter muscle, may require surgery. A dermis adhesive or "botulinum" - a toxin to produce a 'chemical sphincterotomy' may be used to heal the fissure. Or, the fissure may be removed entirely, permitting the area to heal naturally. An anal fissure by itself would not typically carry morbidity/mortality statistics. It would more so be from subsequent infections. Fissure repair surgery is generally done on an 'out-patient' basis, taking only a few hours in total to resolve. It is advisable to speak with a health-care provider regarding available options.
Anal fissure - series?
Normal anatomyThe anus is a sphincter at the end of the rectum through which passes stool during defecation. The anal sphincter is a critical mechanism for control of fecal continence.IndicationAnal fissures are tears in the skin overlying the anal sphincter, usually due to increased tone of the anal sphincter muscles, and a failure of these muscle to relax. Anal fissures cause pain during defecation and bleeding from the anus.IncisionMost anal fissures can be treated successfully with conservative measures, which include stool softeners and warm soaks. The goal is to relax the anal sphincter, which allows the fissure to heal. If these methods are ineffective, surgery is necessary. This is called an internal sphincterotomy, a procedure in which the anal sphincter is partially cut, thus allowing it to relax and permitting the fissure to heal.ProcedureSphincterotomy, when properly performed, is very effective in healing anal fissures.Reviewed ByReview Date: 09/21/2010Todd Eisner, MD, Private practice specializing in Gastroenterology, Boca Raton, FL.
