About Laser Hemorrhoidectomy

Laser Hemorrhoidectomy is a modern, minimally invasive surgical procedure performed by a General Surgeon to treat severe or persistent hemorrhoids. Using precise laser energy, the surgeon seals and shrinks the hemorrhoidal tissue, reducing blood flow and causing it to shrink. This advanced technique offers significant advantages over traditional surgery, including less intraoperative bleeding, reduced post-operative pain, and faster recovery. It is typically recommended for patients with Grade III or IV internal hemorrhoids that have not responded to conservative treatments like dietary changes, ointments, or rubber band ligation. The procedure is often performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day.

Key Highlights

    Minimally Invasive: Uses laser energy for precise tissue removal with minimal damage to surrounding areas.Reduced Pain & Discomfort: Often associated with less post-operative pain compared to conventional hemorrhoidectomy.Minimal Bleeding: The laser cauterizes blood vessels as it works, significantly reducing intraoperative and post-operative bleeding.listrongFaster Recovery:/strong Patients typically experience a quicker return to normal activities and work./lilistrongOutpatient Procedure:/strong Often performed as a day-care surgery, eliminating the need for an extended hospital stay./lilistrongHigh Precision:/strong Allows the surgeon to target only the affected hemorrhoidal tissue accurately./li/ul

Who is this surgery for?

  • Grade III internal hemorrhoids (prolapse with manual reduction required).
  • Grade IV internal hemorrhoids (prolapsed and non-reducible).
  • Thrombosed external hemorrhoids causing severe pain.
  • Recurrent bleeding from hemorrhoids despite conservative management.
  • Persistent symptoms like prolapse, itching, or discomfort not relieved by medication, dietary changes, or office-based procedures (e.g., banding).
  • Mixed hemorrhoids (both internal and external) requiring definitive treatment.

How to prepare

  • Complete a thorough medical evaluation, including history and physical exam by the surgeon.
  • Disclose all current medications, especially blood thinners (e.g., aspirin, warfarin, clopidogrel), which may need to be paused before surgery.
  • Undergo any pre-operative tests as advised, such as blood work.
  • Follow specific dietary instructions, which often include a light meal the night before and fasting (no food or drink) for 6-8 hours prior to the procedure.
  • Use a prescribed enema or laxative the night before to empty the bowels.
  • Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure, as sedation or anesthesia will be used.

Risks & possible complications

  • Bleeding: Some minor bleeding or spotting is common, though significant hemorrhage is rare.
  • Pain & Discomfort: Some pain, swelling, or a feeling of fullness in the rectal area is expected post-operatively.
  • Infection: Risk of infection at the surgical site, though minimal due to the sterile technique and cauterizing effect of the laser.
  • Urinary Retention: Temporary difficulty in passing urine, especially in men.
  • Recurrence: A small chance that hemorrhoids may recur in the future.
  • Anal Stenosis: Rare narrowing of the anal canal if healing produces excessive scar tissue.
  • Incontinence: Very rare risk of temporary or permanent minor fecal leakage, particularly of mucus.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Plan for rest at home for the first 2-3 days. Avoid strenuous activity, heavy lifting, and prolonged sitting for at least 1-2 weeks.
  • Manage pain with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medications and stool softeners as directed by your surgeon.
  • Take sitz baths (sitting in warm water) 2-3 times a day and after each bowel movement to soothe the area and promote healing.
  • Maintain a high-fiber diet and drink plenty of water to prevent constipation and avoid straining during bowel movements.
  • Expect some bleeding with bowel movements for the first week or two. Use sanitary pads if needed.
  • Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor healing.
  • Most patients can return to sedentary work within a week, but full recovery and resumption of all normal activities, including exercise, may take 2-3 weeks.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 0-1 days (Typically outpatient)
  • checked Expected recovery time: 1-3 weeks

PATIENT REVIEW

I was a total wreck before...

I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a doctor on my own and I was convinced it was something serious. Dr. Ram just listened, didn't rush me, and explained everything in a way that actually calmed me down. The hospital is huge and a bit overwhelming, but he made it feel okay. Left feeling like I could breathe again.
