I want a medical doctor, especially histopathologist to interpret this clinical summary for me, I'm interested in the last paragraph.

Thanks

You will be discharged and will have to come for follow up on Monday.

Patient is stable means you are ok and can be discharged.

Kindly read further, I'm seeing something like LETHAL or lateral sphincterotomy + hemorrhoidectomy. Pls interpret the last two lines

The discharge summary pertains to a 36-year-old man admitted for chronic anal fissure and hemorrhoids, conditions causing significant discomfort due to a persistent tear in the anus lining from hard stools or straining and swollen rectal veins from chronic constipation or prolonged sitting, respectively, with symptoms including pain, bleeding, and potential prolapse. He is currently stable and fit for discharge, with a planned surgical intervention—lateral internal sphincterotomy to reduce sphincter pressure and promote fissure healing (effective in over 90% of cases but with a 1-5% risk of minor incontinence) and hemorrhoidectomy to remove severe hemorrhoids (via open or closed techniques, with a 2-4 week recovery)—rescheduled after a follow-up appointment set for July 2, 2020 (noting a possible date error given the current time of 04:16 AM WAT on Monday, June 30, 2025, suggesting an archival document). No discharge medications or unresolved problems are listed, and the report, signed by an intern and consultant Dr. Uchegbu, advises obtaining a discharge summary printout for the patient’s records and billing, with post-operative care likely focusing on diet and hygiene to support recovery and prevent recurrence.

I had a hard on reading this. Been a while since I read something intelligent on this app.

@ the bolded, Does that mean I may likely undergo another surgery known as SPHINCTEROTOMY?

Yes, based on the discharge summary, it is likely that the patient will undergo surgery. The document indicates that the patient is scheduled for a lateral internal sphincterotomy and hemorrhoidectomy to address the chronic anal fissure and hemorrhoids, with the procedure rescheduled for a future date following the follow-up appointment. The stability noted at discharge and the planned surgical intervention suggest that surgery is the intended next step, pending the consultant’s assessment during the follow-up.

The discharge summary was given after HEMORRHOIDECTOMY? I NEVER had surgery on anal fissure.

I was placed on SIT BATH, it healed but now suffering from a RELAPSE. I have started SIT BATH with IODIZED SALT again

I was told to adhere strictly to the SIT BATH, that the hemorrhoidectomy can not be performed twice to avoid FEACAL INCONTINENCE

Okay

Can you recommend any drug for ANAL FISSURE? Apart from ANUSOL

Herbs or Tradomedical intervention can treat or cure anal fissures or Hermorhoid effectively.
No need for surgery.
