Question
Main symptoms in newborns: slight redness and swelling around the anal area, with pus formation. Onset time: around 12 days after birth. Laboratory test results: Anal fissure - a chronic fistula connecting the perianal area with the anal canal. Developing from perianal abscesses, it is primarily manifested by recurrent episodes of perianal swelling and pain, followed by rupture and purulent discharge. Anal fissures can be complicated by anal-rectal stricture, incomplete anal incontinence, anal deformities, and other complications. Due to the long-term presence of purulent matter or stool excreted through the fistula and chronic inflammation, there is a risk of cancerous changes. The only effective method for diagnosing anal fissures is to remove the fistula. Huqiao Hospital uses minimally invasive surgery to treat anal fissures, with a check-up and treatment taking about 20 minutes, followed by a one-hour observation period. The treatment is painless, curative, and the entire process is visualized, directly removing the fistula.
