Treatments

Laser proctology is a minimally invasive treatment method used to address various conditions affecting the lower gastrointestinal tract, particularly those related to the rectum and anus. It uses laser technology to treat conditions such as hemorrhoids, fistulas, anal fissures, and rectal prolapse, providing patients with a less painful and faster recovery option compared to traditional surgical methods.

Common Procedures in Laser Proctology

• Laser Hemorrhoidectomy: Laser is used to shrink and remove swollen hemorrhoidal tissue, often leading to reduced pain and faster healing compared to traditional surgical removal.
• Laser Treatment for Anal Fissures: A laser is used to treat anal fissures by relaxing the anal sphincter and promoting healing, thus reducing pain and discomfort during bowel movements.
• Laser Fistula Surgery: Fistulas, which are abnormal connections between the rectum and skin, can be treated using laser technology, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues and speeding up recovery.
• Laser for Rectal Prolapse: In some cases, lasers are used to treat rectal prolapse by shrinking the prolapsed tissue and providing a more effective and less invasive alternative to traditional surgery.

Benefits of Laser Proctology

• Minimally Invasive: The procedure typically involves smaller incisions and less trauma to the surrounding tissue.
• Faster Recovery: Patients generally experience less pain and a quicker return to normal activities compared to traditional surgery.
• Reduced Complications: With the precision of laser, there is less bleeding, a lower risk of infection, and reduced scarring.
• Outpatient Procedure: Many laser proctology procedures can be performed on an outpatient basis, meaning no hospital stay is required.

Post-Procedure Care and Recovery

• Patients are usually advised to avoid heavy physical activity and maintain a high-fiber diet to prevent constipation during recovery.
• Pain and discomfort are typically minimal, with most patients resuming normal activities within a few days.
