What is Laser Haemorrhoid surgery?
Laser Haemorrhoid surgery is also known as Laser Piles Surgery and is an outpatient procedure that means the patient can go home the same day. Under this technique, the laser beams are directed on the Haemorrhoids, making them shrink.
As laser surgery directly targets the inside growth, there is a lesser chance of recurrence. In the laser surgery, the surgeon burns the swollen haemorrhoids.
The surgeon uses a narrow beam of the laser, focussing only on the haemorrhoid and preventing damage to the nearby tissues. Laser Haemorrhoid is a safe procedure, with minimal bleeding and faster healing.
