My laparoscopic surgeon recommended anal dilation sphincter surgery for my chronic hard stool and constipation issues. Can you explain how this procedure works and why it's needed? Will it actually solve my constipation problems or are there other treatments I should consider first? I'm a bit nervous about the surgery and want to understand what exactly happens during it.
