A Minimally Invasive Approach for the Hemorrhoids

2024-11-13

Laser treatment for hemorrhoids is a minimally invasive surgical method that utilizes laser energy to treat hemorrhoids. Through local or general anesthesia, laser energy is directly transmitted to hemorrhoid tissue through optical fibers for thermal ablation and closure of abnormal blood vessels. Laser energy can precisely destroy hemorrhoid tissue, while coagulating blood vessels to reduce bleeding and promote healing.

Laser therapy has a wide range of applications in the field of proctology and can be used for the treatment of various diseases, including hemorrhoids, anal fistulas, anal fissures, etc。

Under local anesthesia, laser energy is directly transmitted to the hemorrhoidal tissue through pointed fibers, eliminating the hemorrhoids from the inside while preserving the mucosal and sphincter structures with a high degree of precision. The laser energy is used to shut off the blood supply (nourishing the abnormal growth). The laser energy causes damage to the venous endothelium, and the accumulation of hemorrhoids disappears through the contraction effect.
Compared to open hemorrhoidectomy, the pain caused by delivering diode laser energy to small to medium-sized hemorrhoids is minimal, and it leads to partial or complete resolution in a short period of time.

Laser Treatment for Anal Fistula
An anal fistula is a small tunnel that forms between the end of the bowel and the skin near the anus (where feces leave the body). They are usually the result of an infection near the anus, leading to the accumulation of pus (abscess) in the surrounding tissue. When the pus drains, it leaves a small channel.
Under local or general anesthesia, laser energy is transmitted through radial fibers into the anal fistula tract for thermal ablation and closure of the abnormal pathway. The laser energy induces the destruction of the fistula epithelium and simultaneous occlusion of the remaining fistula tract through a contraction effect. The epithelial tissue is destroyed in a controlled manner, and the fistula tract collapses to a very high degree. This also supports and accelerates the healing process.

Advantages of Laser Treatment for Hemorrhoids
Laser treatment for hemorrhoids is a modern, minimally invasive method that offers several advantages over traditional surgical methods:
Non-Invasive or Minimally Invasive:
Laser treatment is performed through small incisions or without incisions, reducing tissue damage and postoperative scarring.
Less Pain:
Compared to traditional open hemorrhoidectomy, laser treatment causes less pain and allows for faster recovery.
Minimal Bleeding:
Laser energy coagulates blood vessels, reducing intraoperative and postoperative bleeding.
Faster Recovery:
Due to minimal trauma, patients can return to normal activities more quickly, with a shorter recovery time.
High Precision:
Laser energy can be precisely targeted to the affected tissue, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
Low Risk of Infection:
Laser treatment reduces the risk of bacterial entry, lowering the risk of postoperative infections.
