Laser Surgery for Varicose Veins
Laser surgery for varicose veins is a modern, minimally invasive treatment designed to close and eliminate diseased veins without the need for large cuts or stitches. Varicose veins develop when the valves inside the veins become weak, leading to blood pooling, vein enlargement, pain, heaviness, swelling, itching, and visible twisted veins, especially in the legs. Laser treatment directly targets the faulty vein, sealing it from inside so that blood is naturally redirected to healthy veins.
During the procedure, a thin laser fiber is inserted into the affected vein under ultrasound guidance. Laser energy is then delivered in a controlled manner, causing the vein walls to collapse and seal shut. Over time, the treated vein is absorbed by the body, improving blood circulation and relieving symptoms. Laser surgery for varicose veins is performed under local anesthesia, requires no hospital stay, and allows patients to return to normal activities within a short time. It offers excellent cosmetic results with minimal scarring, making it a preferred option over traditional vein stripping surgery.
Laser Surgery for Haemorrhoids
Laser surgery for haemorrhoids, commonly known as piles, is an advanced technique that treats swollen and inflamed veins in the anal region with high precision and minimal discomfort. Haemorrhoids can cause symptoms such as bleeding during bowel movements, pain, itching, swelling, and a feeling of incomplete evacuation. Laser treatment addresses these symptoms by shrinking and sealing the enlarged haemorrhoidal tissue from within.
In laser haemorrhoid surgery, a focused laser beam is applied directly to the piles mass. The laser energy cuts off blood supply to the haemorrhoids, causing them to shrink gradually and heal naturally. Unlike conventional surgery, there is no large incision, no stitches, and significantly less post-operative pain. Patients experience minimal bleeding, faster recovery, and reduced risk of infection. Laser treatment is effective for internal and external haemorrhoids and is especially beneficial for patients seeking a quick and comfortable solution.
Laser Surgery for Fissure in Ano
Laser surgery for fissure in ano is a safe and highly effective treatment for chronic anal fissures that do not heal with medicines or lifestyle changes. An anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anal canal, often caused by hard stools, constipation, or excessive straining. It leads to severe pain during and after bowel movements, burning sensation, and sometimes bleeding.
Laser treatment works by precisely removing the fibrotic edges of the fissure and relaxing the tight anal sphincter muscle that prevents healing. The laser promotes better blood flow to the affected area, allowing the fissure to heal naturally. Since the procedure is minimally invasive, patients experience significantly less pain, minimal bleeding, and faster recovery compared to conventional fissure surgery. Laser fissure surgery also reduces the risk of complications such as infection or incontinence, making it an ideal choice for long-term relief.
