About the procedure

What is anorectal surgery?

Anorectal surgery covers the surgical treatment of conditions affecting the anus, anal canal and lower rectum. These conditions — piles, anal fissure, anal fistula and pilonidal sinus — are extremely common in the Indian population, yet many patients delay treatment out of embarrassment or fear of surgery, often suffering unnecessarily for months or years.

Modern anorectal surgery has changed dramatically. The majority of procedures are now performed as day-care operations under short general or spinal anaesthesia, with minimal pain, small or no visible wounds, and a return to normal activity within 2–5 days. Laser and energy-device techniques have replaced many older open operations.

At Sterling Hospitals, Vadodara, Dr Samir Contractor offers the full range of current anorectal surgical techniques — choosing the most appropriate approach for each patient's condition, grade, anatomy and lifestyle.

Benefits of the surgical approach

Modern laser & energy techniques

Fast return to normal life

Most patients return to desk work within 2–5 days and resume a normal diet (including Indian food) within one week.

Confidential and dignified care

All consultations and procedures are handled with complete privacy and sensitivity — a specialist environment, not a general OPD.

Quick answers

Frequently asked questions about Anorectal Surgery

Are piles and hemorrhoids the same thing?
Yes. Piles is the common Indian/British English term for hemorrhoids — swollen vascular cushions inside or around the anal canal. They are graded 1 to 4 based on severity. Grade 1–2 often respond to diet and medication; Grade 3–4 typically require a procedure.
How do I know if I need surgery for piles?
Surgery is recommended when piles bleed persistently despite dietary changes, when they prolapse (come outside) and cannot be pushed back, when they cause constant discomfort or soiling, or when medication and rubber-band ligation have not worked. Grade 3 and 4 hemorrhoids almost always need a surgical procedure.
Is anorectal surgery painful?
Modern techniques — particularly laser and LigaSure — are significantly less painful than older open hemorrhoidectomy. Most patients manage with oral pain medication alone. The procedure itself is performed under anaesthesia. Pain after laser or stapler procedures is typically described as mild to moderate — comparable to a sore throat — rather than severe.
What is the difference between piles, fissure and fistula?
Piles (hemorrhoids) are enlarged blood vessels around the anal canal, causing bleeding, prolapse and discomfort. An anal fissure is a tear in the skin of the anal canal, causing sharp pain during and after passing stools. An anal fistula is an abnormal tunnel connecting the inside of the anal canal to skin outside the anus, causing discharge and repeated abscess formation. These are three distinct conditions requiring different treatments.
Can I eat normally before and after surgery?
Before surgery: light diet the day before; fasting from midnight for morning procedures. After surgery: all procedures allow a normal soft diet from day 1 — dal, khichdi, curd, soft roti. High-fibre foods (vegetables, fruits, whole grains) are actively encouraged from day 3 to prevent constipation. Avoid very spicy food for 1–2 weeks.
Patient outcomes

What patients say after their treatment

"

Had Grade 3 piles for two years and was too embarrassed to seek help. Dr Samir was completely professional and reassuring. The laser procedure was quick, I was home the same day, and the relief was immediate. Should have done it much sooner.

Chronic fissure was making my mornings miserable for over a year. Dr Samir explained the LIS procedure clearly and the recovery was smooth. Back to work in three days and completely pain-free within two weeks.
