Laser surgery is a minimally invasive technique that uses a highly focused laser beam to treat abnormal tissues without causing extensive damage to the surrounding healthy area. Unlike traditional open surgery, laser treatment is associated with less pain, minimal bleeding, and faster healing.
Choosing laser surgery offers significant benefits, making it an attractive option for many patients:
During this procedure, a thin laser probe is inserted into the hemorrhoid. The laser energy is then delivered to shrink and seal the blood vessels within the hemorrhoid, causing it to gradually reduce in size and retract. This technique is highly effective for internal hemorrhoids and is an excellent alternative to traditional hemorrhoidectomy.
For an anal fissure, a laser can be used to precisely cut away the chronic, non-healing tissue of the fissure, creating a clean wound that can heal properly. The laser also helps to reduce muscle spasms, which are a major cause of pain and delayed healing. This procedure provides a lasting solution with less pain and a faster recovery.
For an anal fistula, a technique called FiLAC (Fistula-tract Laser Closure) is used. The laser fiber is inserted into the fistula tract, and a controlled amount of laser energy is delivered to destroy the fistula tract tissue from the inside. This causes the tunnel to collapse and heal, without the need for a large incision. This method is particularly beneficial for complex fistulas, as it avoids damaging the sphincter muscles, significantly reducing the risk of incontinence.
Recovery from laser surgery is generally much faster and less painful than with traditional methods. Patients can typically go home the same day and can resume their normal routine quickly. Dr. Sonal Bharat Chavan will provide detailed instructions for post-operative care, which may include a high-fiber diet, sitz baths, and medication for any discomfort.
