Laser Surgery for Piles – What You Need to Know
Laser surgery for piles is a revolutionary treatment that has transformed how hemorrhoids are treated. If you have Grade 2, 3, or 4 piles and are considering treatment, here is everything you need to know about laser piles surgery.
What is Laser Piles Surgery?
Laser piles surgery, also known as Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP), is a minimally invasive procedure where a precise laser beam is used to treat hemorrhoids. The laser energy coagulates the hemorrhoidal tissue, cutting off its blood supply and causing it to shrink and disappear over time.
Types of Laser Procedures for Piles
Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP)
A laser fiber is inserted into the hemorrhoidal tissue. The laser energy coagulates and shrinks the hemorrhoid from the inside without cutting the mucosa.
Laser Hemorrhoidectomy
The laser is used to precisely excise hemorrhoidal tissue with minimal bleeding and better wound healing compared to traditional excision.
The Procedure – Step by Step
- Patient preparation and anesthesia administration
- Positioning of the patient
- Insertion of the laser probe/fiber into the hemorrhoid
- Laser energy application to shrink/remove hemorrhoid
- Procedure takes 30-45 minutes
- Patient is monitored for 1-2 hours and discharged
