Anorectal diseases encompass a range of conditions affecting the anus and rectum, each significantly impacting quality of life. Common issues include hemorrhoids, anal fissures, anal abscesses, anal fistulas, rectal prolapse, and rectal cancer.
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the rectal area that cause pain, itching, and bleeding. To address this condition, hemorrhoidectomy is performed to remove the swollen veins, providing relief and preventing future problems.
Anal fissures, characterized by small tears in the anal lining leading to painful bowel movements, are treated with anal fissure repair surgery. This procedure heals the tears and alleviates discomfort, improving the patient’s quality of life.
Anal abscesses are infected cavities near the anus that cause significant pain and swelling. Surgical drainage is required to relieve the infection and promote healing.
Anal fistulas are abnormal tunnels that develop between the anal canal and the skin, often resulting from an abscess. Fistula surgery is performed to close these problematic tunnels, preventing recurring issues and improving overall health.
Rectal prolapse, where the rectum protrudes through the anus, leads to discomfort and incontinence. Rectal prolapse repair surgery corrects this condition by repositioning and securing the rectum.
In cases of rectal cancer, which involves malignant tumors causing bleeding, pain, and changes in bowel habits, rectal cancer surgery is essential. This procedure may involve removing part or all of the rectum to manage or cure cancer effectively.
