Laser hemorrhoids surgery for piles is one of the most common and modern treatments for piles that have been creating a significant impression lately. It is considered as the best operated when the patient is suffering severely and the pain is tormenting.
There are a few options to get rid of painful piles. Surgery is the most effective one, especially when someone has reached an advanced stage. If it is decided that surgery is the right option to solve the piles’ problem, then you can consider getting laser treatment is the best option.
Laser surgery has become popular. There are a few obvious pros and cons of laser treatment that one should know about.
List of reasons why people prefer undergoing laser piles surgical treatment includes:
- Less Painful and Much Safer
It is painful! Is the first thought that comes into the minds of people when they think about undergoing surgery. Laser treatment is one of the least painful surgical treatments for piles. Formerly, piles surgery was fright by most due to the amount of pain caused. Laser surgery does not create any type of sparks, steam, or smoke. This makes the surgery safe.
- Less Bleeding
Less bleeding is another great advantage of laser surgery because it does not involve much bleeding. The laser hemorrhoids surgery helps in minimizing the amount of blood flow by blocking the blood vessels and tissues. The surgery does not affect the tissues around the hemorrhoid in any way. The advantage of minimum bleeding makes laser treatment a good option to cure piles.
- Quick Treatment
Another pros of laser treatment for piles is that the duration of laser surgical treatment is very less. In most cases, the surgery takes about 45 minutes to complete. Some alternative methods might take the duration between a few days to a few weeks to completely heal. This makes laser surgery a better choice. The procedure used by the laser surgeon for the healing process can differ from person to person and case to case.
- Quick Discharge
Doubtlessly, staying in the hospital for too long is not an enjoyable experience. The patient who goes through laser hemorrhoids surgery need not have to stay at the hospital for the whole day. In many cases, the patient is discharged within an hour after the completion of the surgery. This minimizes the cost of staying overnight at the hospital.
- Quick Healing
The laser surgery used to cure piles has other pros of laser treatment. Patients can proceed with their regular routine with a minimum of two days of rest. Though a patient is allowed to get back home within an hour after the surgery, resting for a little time is required for complete healing of the surgery. Anyhow, the duration required for the healing process is way far lesser. One is free to get back to his/her normal routine by just resting for a couple of days.
- Easy to Conduct
Carrying laser surgery is way easier than conducting regular surgery. This is because the surgeon has much more control over the procedure. The amount of effort that the surgeon needs to put in the laser hemorrhoids surgery is a lot lesser. When a load of a surgeon is made easier, the results are always better.
Cons of Laser Treatment for Piles
Mainly, everything has its own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, in the case of laser treatment for piles, there are a few disadvantages as well.
Here is a list of few cons of laser treatment for hemorrhoids.
- Expensive Equipment
The machines required to perform laser surgery is quite expensive. This makes it difficult for many clinics and hospitals to install it. Due to this, finding the appropriate clinic becomes tough.
- May Cause Fire
There have been rare cases in which the laser surgical equipment caught fire while performing the laser hemorrhoids surgery. Usually, this does not happen. Anyhow, it can take place because of the manufacturing defect, or in case the equipment is not maintained properly or operated safely. It is natural to damage the equipment if people don’t know how to use it cautiously. It is very important to ensure that the surgeon who will be performing the surgery has great experience in laser treatments.
