Hemorrhoid Laser Surgery
Wednesday, February 4th, 2009Hemorrhoids are a very common medical condition, with nearly 50% of adults having experienced them at some point during their lives. There areĀ many treatment options available, and new ones are being developed all the time. One of the newer treatment options is hemorrhoid laser surgery.
Laser surgery treatment for hemorrhoids is a technique that allows a skilled surgeon to use a laser with pinpoint accuracy to literally vaporize a hemorrhoid until it’s gone. This may sound very painful, but it’s actually quite the opposite.
First of all, the laser allows for complete accuracy, so only the hemorrhoid itself is damaged. Also, the laser has a natural cauterizing effect to any wounds, so there is very little healing necessary. There also should not be very much pain, if any at all. There should not even be any blood at all during the procedure, and usually no hospital stay is required.
A study conducted found that this type of laser hemorrhoid treatment had a 98% success rate, which makes it one of the most effective methods for treating hemorrhoids.
The major downside of hemorrhoid laser surgery is the cost. This surgical procedure is going to cost more than other methods of hemorrhoid treatment, such as the far less expensive method of band ligation. Also, there are always risks with any surgical procedure
