Surgery for Anal Stricture

Anal stricture is a condition where the anal canal becomes narrowed, leading to pain and difficulty passing stool. It may result from chronic inflammation, previous surgeries, or trauma. If left untreated, it can severely impact bowel habits and quality of life.

Surgery for anal stricture aims to widen the narrowed area and restore smooth bowel movements. Our surgeons use safe, minimally invasive techniques to relieve the blockage, reduce pain, and improve daily functioning, all while minimizing the risk of complications.

Treatment

Biofeedback Therapy

A non-invasive, physiotherapy-based treatment designed to help patients regain control over rectal muscles—especially in cases of Obstructed Defecation Syndrome (ODS).
A probe is gently inserted into the rectum to monitor muscle activity, which is displayed on a screen. Under expert guidance, patients are trained to coordinate and strengthen pelvic muscles for smoother, strain-free bowel movements.
Effective for: Chronic constipation due to pelvic floor dysfunction.

STARR Surgery (Stapled Transanal Rectal Resection)

An advanced, minimally invasive procedure for patients with chronic constipation caused by rectal prolapse or ODS.
Under general anesthesia, two circular staplers are used to remove the prolapsed or obstructed section of the rectum, restoring normal rectal anatomy and function.
Invented by Dr. Antonio Longo, this surgery is performed extensively at Healing Hands Clinic, led by Dr. Porwal, offering hope to patients who’ve struggled for years.
Effective for: Structural causes of chronic constipation and rectal prolapse.
