Haemorrhoids, anal fissure, fistula and pilonidal sinus. Common conditions — and waiting makes them harder to treat.
Operations in this area
- Haemorrhoid TreatmentHaemorrhoids are one of the most common reasons people see a general surgeon, and one of the most treatable. This page explains why they develop, when treatment is needed, and what each option actually involves.
- Anal Fissure TreatmentAn anal fissure is a small tear in the anal canal that causes pain out of all proportion to its size. Caught early, most fissures heal without an operation.
- Anal Fistula SurgeryAn anal fistula is the usual reason for persistent discharge or recurring swellings around the anus. Treatment is surgical, and the plan has to close the tract while protecting continence.
- Pilonidal Sinus TreatmentPilonidal sinus is a common problem of the natal cleft, most often appearing in the late teens and twenties. Treatment today ranges from small office-based procedures to definitive surgery.
