Treatment of haemorrhoids with laser

One of the most common problems in proctology is haemorrhoids. The disease is a pathological change in the functioning of the vascular system of the rectum, resulting in the formation of haemorrhoids. They can be located inside the rectum or outside, but in any case they cause discomfort, pain and bleeding.

In our center we offer patients to get rid of the disease using a laser.

This minimally invasive method has a number of advantages compared to surgical intervention or conservative treatment. Conservative treatment only relieves exacerbation, but does not eliminate the problem itself. The surgical intervention requires a long hospitalization and is accompanied by a long, painful postoperative recovery period.

How are haemorrhoids treated with laser?

The laser treatment procedure involves inserting a probe into the haemorrhoidal tissue through micro-incisions (1-2 mm). Under the influence of radiation, nodes are destroyed. In this case, the mucous membrane of the rectum and the muscle tissue of the anus remain intact. 

Advantages of the laser method

• The procedure takes from 10 to 15 minutes (depending on complexity);
• It is carried out without the use of general anesthesia, so high blood pressure, heart problems and other diseases are not an obstacle to treatment.
• The extent of tissue damage depends on the specific laser technique: in some procedures, puncture, incision, or excision is performed. Therefore, it cannot be claimed that the tissues are not damaged at all. After treatment, pain, swelling, and bloody discharge are possible. The time to return to normal activity depends on the extent of the surgery and healing; not all patients may return to full load the next day.
• There are no complications possible during surgery (pain, stool incontinence, gas, etc.).

What types of haemorrhoids can be treated with laser?

This technique has shown its effectiveness in removing both external and internal haemorrhoidal lesions at stages 1-3 of the disease.
