- Hemorrhoidectomy procedures
- Anal fissure and echtropion coagulation
- Anal fissure excision
- Anal stenosis ablation
- Pilonidal cyst
- Condyloma
- Polyposis of colon
- Villous adenoma
- Acquired and congenital fistula and tumor
Hemorrhoids (Piles)
The use of lasers makes it possible to treat the vascular component of hemorrhoids with high precision. The procedure is performed without perianal skin resection, so postoperative pain is less than conventional techniques. The laser’s energy allows to coagulate (close) the arteries that nourish the hemorrhoids and at the same time to destroy the abnormal hemorrhoidal tissue.
Advantages of the Laser
- Accuracy in cutting and coagulation
- Shorter and less painful postoperative
- Quick return to usual activities
- It can be done on an outpatient basis
Fistula
A laser fiber with circumferential emission allows to destroy the fistulous tract without damaging the anal sphincter. Laser ablation is among the sphincter preserving techniques for the treatment of anal fistulas, of special value in patients with a high risk of incontinence such as women, complex fistulas or patients with incontinence.
Advantages of the Laser
- Preservative technique of the anal sphincter (without risk of incontinence)
- Destruction of the fistulous tract exclusively
- Less postoperative pain
- Optimal aesthetic result
Fissure
Chronic anal fissure is a wound in the anus that presents with severe pain and bleeding. The spasm of the anal sphincter intervenes in its formation and persistence. The treatment of the fissure consists in the removal of it and in the partial section of the anal sphincter. The laser offers the possibility of performing an accurate section, guided by ultrasound, minimizing the risks of surgery.
Advantages of the Laser
- Corte y coagulación precisos
- Sección controlada del esfínter anal
Pilonidal Sinus
A pilonidal sinus (PNS) is a small hole or tunnel in the skin. It may fill with fluid or pus, causing the formation of a cyst or abscess. It occurs in the cleft at the top of the buttocks. A pilonidal cyst usually contains hair, dirt, and debris. It can cause severe pain and can often become infected.
Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are swollen, twisted veins that lie just under the skin and usually occur in the legs.
Overview: Varicose veins are a common condition caused by weak or damaged vein walls and valves. Varicose veins may form whenever blood pressure increases inside patient veins.
They happen when the valves in the veins do not work properly, so the blood does not flow effectively.
The veins rarely need treatment for health reasons, but if swelling, aching, and painful legs result, and if there is considerable discomfort, treatment is available.
There are various options, including some home remedies.
In severe cases, a varicose vein may rupture, or develop into varicose ulcers on the skin. These will require treatment.
