Laser Surgery for Hemorrhoids
Skilled surgeons use laser light with pinpoint accuracy. The unwanted hemorrhoid is simply vaporized or excised. The infinitely small laser beam allows for unequaled precision and accuracy, and usually rapid, unimpaired healing. The result is less discomfort, less medication, and faster healing. A hospital stay is generally not required.
The laser is inherently therapeutic, sealing off nerves and tiny blood vessels with an invisible light. By sealing superficial nerve endings patients have a minimum of postoperative discomfort. With the closing of tiny blood vessels, your proctologist is able to operate in a controlled and bloodless environment. Procedures can often be completed more quickly and with less difficulty for both patient and physician. Laser can be used alone or in combination with other modalities.
