Piles Laparoscopic surgery

This surgery is performed using lasers to cure the piles without any big stitches and wounds. This surgery takes only some minutes to be performed and after the surgery, the patient gets discharged within some hours only after observing the patient's condition.

Sometimes, small slits are made on the affected area to observe the internal piles but very tiny cuts are made and this reduces the exposure of internal tissues.

The operating time, recovery period and the pain in laparoscopic surgery is also very less as compared to the open surgery.

The surgery is performed by a specialised team of doctors through modern equipment. Sometimes, a camera is also inserted inside the anal canal to check the internal conditions properly.

Laser surgeries are recommended by the doctor in case of severe piles and it has proven to be the best treatment for piles.

Before taking a decision, it is very important to consult Dr. Vipin Jain and seek his guidance as soon as possible.
