This is a choice of treatment. Lateral internal sphincterotomy is an operation to treat an anal fissure, a tear in the opening of the anus that can cause pain, itching, and bleeding. Sphincterotomy helps reduce pressure inside the anus that can cause spasms and increases blood flow to the area to help the tissue heal.
This is an antiquated technique for managing anal fissure. In order to release the pressure, the physician stretches the anal canal by hand.
