About

A Proctology Clinic with an emphasis on LASER based treatment for anorectal conditions has been started. The aim of the clinic is to help the patients get over the fear of surgery and find a solution for the problem. Hemorrhoids also called as piles is a very common problem but not many people talk about it and continue to suffer without even seeking medical advice, trying alternative therapies as they are afraid of surgical procedures. At our centre more than 75% patients are treated without surgery with modern techniques. in an outpatient basis.

The New Outpatient Treatment Modalities

IRC - Infra Red Coagulation - THE OFFICE TREATMENT

The infrared coagulator is for outpatient treatment of internal first and second degree piles. It is the most effective non surgical treatment modality. They give very good results with no side effects. These procedures are painless. Do not need more than 30 minutes in the clinic. These procedures are called office treatment in the western world, meaning you come from your office during the break, get the treatment done and go back to your office.

LASER – THE DAY CARE PROCEDURE

Diode Laser 980nm / 1470nm 15W is used in proctology

It is a day care procedure performed under anesthesia in 30minutes post which the patient can be discharged. Laser energy is delivered by radial fiber directly in the sub mucosal hemorrhoidal nodes to shrink the nodes from inside. Moreover, laser energy is used to reduce the blood supply nourishing the abnormal growth. LASER surgery prevents the occurrence or recurrence of a prolapse.

Formal surgical intervention may sometimes be required called Stapled Hemorrhoidectomy (MIPH).
