What is a sphincterotomy?
Sphinhterotomy is a surgery in which an anal sphincter is cut. Patients undergo sphincterotomy to treat chronic anal cracks that are not distinguished by other means. Surgery is an outpatient procedure, and patients usually walk home on the same day as surgery if they do not experience complications. They become chronic and cause pain and discomfort to the patient. In sphincterotomy, the muscle is weakened so that it cannot be spasm, which allows this time to recover and reduce the risk that cracks are repeated.
The surgeon will recommend spincterotomy after other therapeutic measures cannot work. Surgery can be performed with a local, spine or a general anesthetic depending on the needs and preferences of the parties. The anesthesiologist encounters the patient with the patient before the discussion and examines the patient for possible risks that could complicate anesthesia. If the patient is given by local or backbone anesthesia, they areIn the provided sedative to maintain the patient comfort while the sphincterotomy is finished.
For the procedure itself, the patient is placed on the operating table to detect the rectum. The surgeon cleans the space, removes the crack, and then does a sphincterotomy before stitching the area and sends the patient to recovery. During recovery, the patient will be monitored and administered by pure fluids until he is clearly recovered from anesthesia. After the restoration, the patient may be sent home.
Restore from sphincterotomy takes about two weeks. During this time, the patient must observe careful hygiene and may notice some bleeding and pain around the rectum. The surgeon can recommend a bland diet irritates the surgical site. Potential complications may include infection of space and patients who develop fever, extreme discomfort or abnormal discharges should turn to their surgeon. Incontinence is also potential whoMany patients have difficulty controlling flatulence during immediate furrow after the procedure.
When the patient is recommended to sphincterotomy as the possibility of treating anal cracks, the patient may want to ask why surgery is recommended and what to expect during recovery. It may be useful to know in advance of subsequent care so that the patient can prepare properly. Patients should also ask their surgeons about their experience and their success in patients. Competent surgeons are always happy to address questions and concerns before the procedure.
