Constipation as a most common predisposing factor (90%) in such disorders. All patients underwent examination under anaesthesia. Out of 31 patients of Internal Haemorrhoids, 27 patients (87.1%) underwent Milligan Morgan haemorrhoidectomy, and 4 (12.9%) patients underwent Ferguson haemorrhoidectomy. 3 patients of External Haemorrhoids underwent External Haemorrhoid Thrombectomy, while all patients of acute anal fissure underwent Lords Dilation, among them 6 patients (23.07%), underwent lateral internal sphincterotomy.
