Fissurectomy, anal, with or without sphincterotomy
AI EXPLANATION: Anal fissure surgery is an outpatient procedure performed to treat a painful tear or crack in the lining of the anal canal that has not healed with standard care. During the procedure, a surgeon removes the unhealthy, scarred tissue around the tear. The surgeon may also release tension by making a small, controlled cut in the internal anal sphincter muscle, which helps relieve spasms and allows the area to heal.
