Laser Hemorrhoidectomy

General surgery hospital in Bangalore

Laser hemorrhoidectomy is a surgical procedure to remove haemorrhoids, which are swollen and inflamed blood vessels in the anal canal. The procedure is performed using a laser to vaporize the haemorrhoids. Laser hemorrhoidectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that is associated with less pain and bleeding than traditional surgery. It is often used to treat grade III and grade IV haemorrhoids. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia and takes about 30 minutes. Recovery time is usually short, with most people able to return to work within a few days.

Why is it performed?

Laser hemorrhoidectomy is performed to remove haemorrhoids or swollen blood vessels in and around the anus and rectum. Haemorrhoids can cause bleeding, pain, and itching. Laser hemorrhoidectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a laser to remove haemorrhoids. The laser energy heats and vaporizes the tissue, which is then absorbed by the body. Laser hemorrhoidectomy is often performed as an outpatient procedure, and most people can return to their normal activities within a few days. To know more, Book an appointment today.

Pre-surgery:

Preparation for laser hemorrhoidectomy may include the following: 

  • A physical exam and medical history. This will help your doctor determine if laser hemorrhoidectomy is the best treatment for you.

  • An anoscopy. This is a procedure in which a small, lighted tube is inserted into the anus to examine the haemorrhoids. 

  • A sigmoidoscopy. This is a procedure in which a long, flexible tube is inserted into the rectum and colon to check for other problems. 

  • A colonoscopy. This is a procedure in which a long, flexible tube is inserted into the rectum and colon to check for other problems.
