Traditional open surgery for piles often comes with significant pain, long recovery times, and dietary restrictions. Today, laser surgery (LHP) has revolutionized piles treatment. Here are the top 5 benefits:
Unlike traditional surgery, laser treatment involves no scalpel. A tiny laser fiber is inserted into the hemorrhoidal mass, shrinking the tissue from the inside out. This means no open wounds or stitches are required.
Because there is no cutting of sensitive tissue, post-operative pain is significantly lower compared to conventional surgery. Most patients require only mild painkillers for a few days.
Laser surgery is often performed as a day-care procedure. Patients can go home the same day and typically resume normal activities within 24 to 48 hours.
The laser beam acts to seal off blood vessels as it shrinks the tissue, practically eliminating bleeding during and after the procedure. The lack of an open wound also drastically reduces the risk of infections.
Laser surgery is highly precise. It targets only the hemorrhoidal tissue, preserving the surrounding healthy tissue and the sphincter muscle. This eliminates the risk of fecal incontinence (loss of bowel control).
If you are suffering from piles, consult with Dr. Ashutosh Tripathi to see if you are a candidate for painless laser surgery.
