Laser Surgery For Piles

16 Reasons Why You Should opt For Laser Surgery for Hemorrhoids or Piles Over Conventional Surgery

Introduction

The controlled emission of laser energy is applied submucosally and causes the hemorrhoidal mass to shrink. in addition, the fibrotic reconstruction generates new connective tissue which ensures that the mucosa adheres to the underlying tissue.

There arises no need for foreign materials (clamps) to be inserted and unlike other procedures.

Laser treatment for the hemorrhoids is not associated with any risk of stenosis or narrowing.

If you are considering opting for Laser surgery as a treatment for hemorrhoids, here is what you should know:

laser surgery for hemorrhoids is a popular and safe procedure that offers several advantages over traditional surgery.

Compared to other surgical treatments, a laser effectively treats hemorrhoids and improves symptoms related to them. In addition, after the surgery, there is no or minimal post-operative pain. Similar benefits are seen for patients with severe anal spasms, external thrombosis, fissure, sentinel tags, fistula & varicose veins.

The laser focuses on the affected area during the procedure, sealing off the small blood vessels.

This is the most advanced technique in healing hemorrhoids/piles.

Anesthesia

The patient is given general / spinal anesthesia during the procedure. There is minimal pain involved in the surgery.

Technique

A laser fibre is passed through the anal opening, and laser energy is applied to the hemorrhoidal mass. The controlled emission of laser energy reaches the submucosa zone, causing the hemorrhoidal group to shrink. Fibrosis reconstruction generates new connective tissue, ensuring the mucosa adheres to the underlying tissue, preventing prolapse recurrence.

This technique is very helpful in dealing with hemorrhoids that have not been cured for a long time. There is no scarring and no wound in the surgery.

It is a 30-minute day care procedure. The patient can go home the same day after the surgery or stay overnight.

After Surgery

The post-surgery complications are very less in this minimally invasive procedure to treat piles.

The patient can resume normal activities after 2-3 days but need to avoid strenuous work.

What are the anorectal diseases that require laser surgery?

Hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids or piles are excessive arterial blood flow, causing dilations in the hemorrhoidal plexuses and, consequently, congestion.

Anal Fistula

An anal fistula is a small, infected channel that can develop between the end of the bowel and the skin near the anus. Most anal fistulas result from an infection in an anal gland that spreads to the skin.

Anorectal Fissures

An anal fissure is a small tear or a crack in the lining of the anus. An anal fissure may occur when passing hard or large stools causing pain and bleeding during bowel movements.e.

Pilonidal sinus

Pilonidal cysts are the sacs filled with hair and skin debris formed at the top of the crease of the buttocks above the sacrum. A painful abscess can develop if the cyst and overlying skin become infected.

What to expect before, during and after laser surgery or procedures?

Before Surgery: The medical team will explain the procedure and give instructions about do’s and don’ts before and after the surgery. You will also undergo some pre-operative investigations.
During Surgery: Surgery is carried out under local or regional anesthesia by a specialized team of anaesthetists, laser proctology surgeons, and other medical staff. Depending on the type of surgery, surgeons perform the surgery in a few minutes to an hour.
After Surgery: Depending on your clinical status, you may need to stay in the hospital for a few hours or overnight. Recovery varies from person to person. Generally, patients go back to day-to-day activities in a day or two.

What is the FILAC technique (Fistula–Tract Laser Closure)?

It is a minimally invasive and sphincter-preserving technique used in treating anorectal fistula. The affected tissue (epithelialized path) is destroyed and sealed using laser emission radially 360° in a controlled manner. This is one of Vadodara’s most resorted laser treatments for fistula.

What is Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy (LIS)?

For chronic anal fissure that is resistant to medical and conservative approaches, the doctor may decide to perform a surgery called lateral internal sphincterotomy (LIS). During the surgery, a small portion of the internal sphincter muscle is cut. This helps to reduce pain and pressure and allows the healing of the fissure.

Thus, treatment of grade-1 piles can cost you less when compared with the treatment of grade-4 piles, i.e., laser or other types of pile surgery.The higher the grade of piles, the higher the complexity of the treatment and so greater the cost.

Pre- and post-Surgical Medications
To minimize the risk of bacterial infections and reduce the chances of post-surgical complications, we prescribe, antibiotics, suppositories, painkillers, etc.
In a few cases, these medications are prescribed as a prophylactic measure or to increase the positive results of the piles laser treatment.

Post-surgical follow-up sessions help doctors to evaluate the outcomes of piles laser surgery. And help to monitor the overall health condition of the patient. The cost of each follow-up session can add up to the overall pile’s laser treatment cost in Vadodara. But we provide it free.

Disadvantages of piles treatment with laser

Every coin has two sides. Every technology has its good and bad. Similarly, laser treatment for piles also has its downside.

Cost: Though the surgery doesn’t take as long as conventional surgery, the technology aspect and the benefits push up the cost of laser treatment than other procedures.
Using laser beams to treat diseases is no easy task. Each laser fiber will come only for a specific number of cases; hence spare laser fiber should be readily available.
Training: Surgeons performing the surgery must have required training. Untrained surgeons can cause complications. Patients must check the credibility and experience of the surgeon.
Uncontrollable Bleeding: Laser surgery can cause uncontrolled bleeding in rare cases. Healthy tissues can get affected. It can cause significant damage.
Fibrosis: Laser beams can cause tissue fibrosis. It can result in tissue fissures in the future. It is a secondary complication in Laser Piles Surgery.
