Haemorrhoidoplasty: Haemorrhoid treatment with laser
Reduce and fix haemorrhoids with the laser
One of the most modern techniques is hemorrhoid treatment with a laser. In so-called haemorrhoidoplasty, the haemorrhoid nodes are reduced in size and fixed from the inside with the diode laser. A fine glass fibre probe is pushed from the anal edge into the haemorrhoids and laser energy is applied in a circle. When the swelling caused by the treatment has subsided after one to two weeks, the hemorrhoid nodes shrink and no longer tend to prolapse. This method can also be combined with tightening sutures (HAL-RAR) if a pronounced incident is to be treated.
Are there any risks?
Our experience shows that laser haemorrhoidoplasty is a very safe and effective procedure. Local swelling states and anal thromboses do occur, but disappear by themselves. Bacterial inflammations up to fistula formation are conceivable, but have not been observed by us so far. Especially in our preferred combination with the HAL-RAR, very good long-term results can be expected.
Hemorrhoids: Further treatment methods
In addition to haemorrhoidoplasty, haemorrhoid artery ligation with Recto-Analer Reconstruction (HAL-RAR) is also a promising therapy method that we use in our proctological center in Munich. The hemorrhoid nodes are not removed, but the arterial influx to them is prevented.
Hemorrhoidectomy is a conventional therapy method that is usually performed with an electric scalpel. In order to achieve even better results and accelerate wound healing, we recommend hemorrhoidectomy with laser instead of electrical scalpel.
