How is Laser Hemorrhoid Surgery Performed?
Laser hemorrhoid surgery is usually performed under local or general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. The process includes the following steps:
1. Preparation:
The patient is placed in the appropriate position and anesthesia is applied to ensure a painless procedure.
2. Laser Application:
The proctologist uses a special laser device to precisely target and treat the hemorrhoidal tissue. The laser beam shrinks or removes the tissue while also coagulating the blood vessels to minimize bleeding.
3. Completion:
The procedure usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes and depends on the complexity of the case.
4. Postoperative Care:
Patients are kept under observation for a short period of time and are discharged with home care instructions.
Recovery Process After Laser Hemorrhoid Surgery
1. Immediate Postoperative Care:
Immediately after the procedure, you will be monitored in a recovery area for a period of time. You may feel some mild discomfort or pain, but this is usually controlled with painkillers.
2. The First Days:
-
Pain Management: Pain and discomfort are normal, and your doctor may recommend pain relievers or topical treatments.
-
Diet: High fiber foods and plenty of water consumption are recommended to prevent constipation and facilitate bowel movements.
-
Hygiene: Gently cleaning the anal area with warm water reduces the risk of infection.
3. Control Appointments:
Op. Dr. Serkan Bozkurt schedules regular check-up appointments to monitor your recovery and prevent possible complications.
4. Return to Daily Life:
You can usually return to light activities and work within a few days to a week.
5. Avoid Strenuous Activities:
Heavy lifting and strenuous activities should be avoided, and straining during bowel movements should be avoided.
6. Full Recovery:
The exact recovery time can vary from person to person, but most patients improve significantly within a few weeks. Following your doctor's recommendations will speed up your recovery.
Advantages of Laser Hemorrhoid Surgery
Precision: The laser targets only the affected area and does not damage surrounding tissues.
Less Pain: Much less pain is felt compared to traditional methods.
Less Bleeding: Thanks to the coagulative effect of the laser, bleeding is minimal.

-
Temporary discomfort
-
Light bleeding
-
Infection (in rare cases)
Following your doctor's postoperative instructions and attending regular follow-up appointments can minimize these risks.
