Laser Surgery for Piles - Dr Jiten Chowdhry

Hemorrhoids, also called piles, are swollen veins developing around the anus or inside it. Internal hemorrhoids can be potentially dangerous and external hemorrhoids can cause excess pain, particularly because of the sensitivity of the area.

Surgical options for treating hemorrhoids include:

• Photocoagulation

• Hemorrhoidectomy

• Sclerotherapy

• Rubber Band Ligation

• Laser treatment

The specific problem with medical ointments is that they don’t have any effect on internal hemorrhoids. Hence, if oral medications aren’t proving to be effective, surgical procedure is the only option left. Laser surgery is one of the most preferred modes of surgery for piles.

• The patient feels much less pain as compared to other procedure

• There is no need for hospitalization for the procedure. The patient can get discharged on the same day

• In comparison to traditional surgical options, laser surgery is much safer

• Since the blood vessels in the anal region are sealed off by the laser, minimum bleeding is caused during the procedure

• Chances of any other medical complication arising are minimum

• The surgeon has many options for effective utilization of the laser beam, thus improving the chances of success through the surgery

• The surgeon’s task is much less complicated and risky

• Aids in the fast healing of the wound

• Since general anesthesia isn’t needed for the procedure, the recovery is much faster
