Hemorrhoids laser surgery is the process of using a laser to induce electrical currents to a patient's hemorrhoidal vein. Through this procedure blood's flow to hemorrhoid is stopped thus lessening problematic symptoms. During the surgery, the moment a laser probe sends an electrical current to the hemorrhoid, a chemical reaction starts taking place which help stopping flow of blood to the hemorrhoid. This results in shrinking of hemorrhoid and swollen hemorrhoid dries up. In this process the unwanted hemorrhoid is simply removed. Now, with latest advancement in technologies even electric current is not induced. With very precise laser beam of infinitely minuscule proportions, the affected hemorrhoid is simple burnt away or excised. The associated pain in this modified treatment is also very less compared to laser probe. This laser provides sharp accuracy for burning away or removing various types of hemorrhoids.
This altogether eliminates the inflammation problem. Hemorrhoid laser surgical procedure is predominantly used on external hemorrhoids rather than internal hemorrhoids. The recovery which used to be quite painful with laser coagulation is simply less painful with the latest laser beam technology. Following laser treatments, hemrrhoidal creams and donut-shaped pillows can be used to aid the recovery process. Since, the surgery can be performed on out patient basis and patient can go home same day, many patients and surgeons prefer hemorrhoid laser treatment over other treatments for curing external hemorrhoids.
Because of accuracy of laser probes the surgery is minimally invasive and controlled. A very small area gets affected. Due to greater accuracy the recovery is also very fast. With lot many advances taking place in lasers and their associated technologies, this method of hemorrhoid removal will find many takers in future.
Based on the size of hemorrhoid, laser beam can be a wide beam or a narrow beam. Wide laser beam is used to remove bigger masses which narrow beam is used to make small cuts. Laser coagulation method, which was practiced earlier used to cause lost of discomfort and pain. But now with laser beam clinical precision has been obtained and the process itself has become less cumbersome. But hemorrhoid laser treatment is not always the first treatment. Rather it is one of the last treatments. People tend to shy away from this treatment as the same is very expensive and has to be performed by expert surgeons. An untrained and unskilled surgeon may cause more harm if the laser beam is not directed properly. Since it is expensive and trained surgeons are few it is always suggested that one may explore other options first and resort to this expensive option.
Advantages:
- With sharp accuracy hemorrhoids are simply burnt away without leaving any trace.
- High accuracy leads to faster healing.
- Less discomfort.
- Faster removal of hemorrhoid.
- Lesser complications
Disadvantages
- Only external hemorrhoids can be treated.
- Complications like infection, over correction and under corrections can still be there.
