About Proctology

Proctology deals with conditions of the anus, rectum and lower colon — piles, fissures, fistulas, pilonidal sinus, prolapse and abscesses. Many people put off seeing a doctor out of embarrassment, but most of these problems are common, very treatable, and get harder to treat the longer they are left. Many proctology procedures are short, planned interventions affecting the anus, rectum and lower bowel.

Early-stage problems often settle with diet changes, stool softeners, sitz baths and medication. When symptoms keep coming back, bleed heavily or cause constant pain, a procedure is usually the more reliable option. Modern approaches — laser procedures, stapler techniques and minimally invasive fistula treatments — generally mean smaller wounds, less pain and a quicker return to work than older open surgery.

A proctologist or general surgeon examines the area (usually a quick, gentle in-clinic examination, sometimes with a proctoscope) to confirm the diagnosis and grade of the problem before recommending a treatment. Imaging such as MRI is used for complex fistulas.

Conditions

Piles (Haemorrhoids)

Piles are swollen blood vessels in and around the anus and lower rectum. Internal piles sit inside the rectum and are graded 1–4 by how far they prolapse; external piles form under the skin around the anus.

Anal Fissure

An anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anal canal. It causes sharp pain during and after passing stool, and the pain can make the anal muscle spasm, which keeps the tear from healing.

Anal Fistula

An anal fistula is a small tunnel between the inside of the anal canal and the skin near the anus, usually left behind after an anal abscess. It rarely heals on its own.

Pilonidal Sinus

A pilonidal sinus is a small tract or cyst in the skin at the top of the buttock crease, often containing hair. It can become infected and form a painful abscess.

Rectal Prolapse

Rectal prolapse is when part of the rectum slides out through the anus. It is more common in older adults, particularly women, and usually needs surgery.

Perianal Abscess

A perianal abscess is a collection of pus near the anus, usually caused by an infected anal gland. It needs drainage and can lead to a fistula.

Faecal Incontinence

Faecal incontinence is the inability to control bowel movements, ranging from occasional leakage to complete loss of control. It is more common than many people realise and often improves with treatment.

Anal Ulcer

An anal ulcer is an open sore in the anal canal. Many are chronic fissures, but ulcers can also be caused by infections, inflammatory bowel disease or, rarely, cancer — so persistent ones should be examined.

Anal Skin Tags

Anal skin tags are small, harmless flaps of skin around the anus, often left behind after a healed external pile or fissure.

Chronic Constipation

Chronic constipation is infrequent or difficult bowel movements lasting several weeks or more. It is a major contributor to piles and fissures and is usually managed without surgery.

Treatments

Laser Piles Surgery

Laser haemorrhoidoplasty uses a thin laser fibre to shrink piles from within by sealing the blood vessels that feed them. There is little or no external wound, so pain and recovery time are usually less than with conventional surgery.

Stapler Haemorrhoidopexy (MIPH)

Stapler haemorrhoidopexy uses a circular stapling device to lift prolapsing piles back into place and reduce their blood supply. Because the cut is made above the sensitive skin of the anus, it is usually less painful than conventional haemorrhoidectomy.

Haemorrhoidectomy

Haemorrhoidectomy is the surgical removal of piles. It has the lowest recurrence rate of piles treatments but usually involves more pain in the first weeks.

Rubber Band Ligation

A small rubber band is placed at the base of an internal pile to cut off its blood supply; the pile shrivels and falls off within about a week. It is a quick clinic procedure.

Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy

A small, controlled cut is made in the internal anal sphincter muscle to relieve the spasm that stops a chronic fissure from healing. It is highly effective for chronic fissures.

Laser Fissure Surgery

A laser is used to remove the unhealthy edges of a chronic fissure and any sentinel tag, encouraging healthy healing. It may be combined with sphincter relaxation.

Fistulotomy

The fistula tract is opened along its length so it heals from the inside out. It is the standard treatment for simple, low fistulas that involve little sphincter muscle.

Fistulectomy

The entire fistula tract is cut out. It removes the diseased tissue completely and is used for selected fistulas.

VAAFT

VAAFT uses a thin telescope passed along the fistula tract to see and treat it from inside, then closes the internal opening. It avoids cutting the sphincter muscles.

LIFT Procedure

The fistula tract is tied off and divided in the space between the two sphincter muscles, preserving the muscles themselves.

Laser Fistula Surgery

A radial laser fibre is passed through the fistula tract and slowly withdrawn, sealing the tract from inside while sparing the sphincter muscles.

Pilonidal Sinus Surgery

The infected sinus tract is cleaned and removed or sealed — by excision, or with a laser fibre that ablates the tract through the existing openings.

Pilonidal Flap Surgery

After removing the sinus, the surgeon moves a flap of nearby skin to close the wound and flatten the buttock cleft, reducing the chance of recurrence.

Rectopexy

Rectopexy fixes the rectum back in its normal position, usually laparoscopically, sometimes with mesh support. Perineal procedures are an alternative for frail patients.

Incision & Drainage of Abscess

A perianal abscess is opened and the pus drained, which relieves pain quickly and allows the infection to settle.

Sphincteroplasty

The damaged ends of the anal sphincter muscle are overlapped and repaired to improve bowel control.

Anal Skin Tag Removal

Troublesome anal skin tags are removed with a scalpel, scissors or laser under local anaesthesia.

Open Surgery vs Laser: Proctology

Features	Open Surgery	Laser
Approach	The piles are cut away with a scalpel or diathermy	Laser energy shrinks the piles from inside
Anaesthesia	Spinal or general anaesthesia	Spinal or short general anaesthesia
Operating time	About 30–60 minutes	About 30–45 minutes
Hospital stay	1–2 days	Same day or overnight
Recovery	Typically 2–4 weeks before full normal activity; pain relief and stool softeners help.	Most people resume desk work in 2–5 days; complete healing takes a few weeks.
