Laser Piles Surgery: Procedure, Purpose, Duration & Recovery

Advanced minimally invasive laser treatment for painless and permanent relief from piles

Overview

Laser piles surgery is a modern, minimally invasive procedure used to treat hemorrhoids (piles) safely and effectively. Piles are swollen blood vessels in or around the anus and rectum that can cause pain, bleeding, itching, and discomfort during bowel movements.

This advanced laser technique uses focused laser energy to shrink or remove the enlarged hemorrhoidal tissue without cutting or stitching. The laser seals blood vessels instantly, resulting in minimal bleeding, reduced pain, and faster healing.

Unlike traditional piles surgery, laser treatment is performed with high precision, minimal tissue damage, and no large wounds. Patients experience significantly less post-procedure discomfort and a quick return to normal activities.

Step-by-Step Procedure for Laser Piles Surgery

Preoperative Assessment

• Medical history and physical examination
• Proctoscopic examination to assess severity
• Blood tests and health evaluation
• Assessment of bowel habits and lifestyle
• Fitness evaluation for anesthesia

Anesthesia

The procedure is usually performed under local, spinal, or short general anesthesia depending on the severity of piles and patient comfort.

Laser Treatment of Piles

A specialized laser probe delivers controlled energy to the hemorrhoidal tissue, sealing the blood supply and shrinking the piles while preserving surrounding healthy tissue.

Minimal Tissue Trauma

The laser avoids large cuts or stitches, reducing infection risk and ensuring faster healing.

Completion and Recovery

The procedure takes approximately 20–40 minutes. Most patients can walk within hours and are discharged the same day.
