LASER FISSURECTOMY for Anal Fissures
Anal fissures, are small cuts in the mucosal lining of the anal wall caused by excessive strain during defaecation. While they can heal on their own with proper self-care, some cases may require medical intervention. One modern approach gaining popularity is laser fissurectomy which is the advanced Laser treatment for anal fissures.
What is Laser Fissurectomy?
Laser fissurectomy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat anal fissures. It involves using a laser to precisely remove damaged tissue from the anal lining, promoting healing and reducing the risk of recurrence.
Procedure of Laser Fissurectomy
Advantages of Laser Fissurectomy
Laser fissurectomy offers many advantages over traditional cutting techniques:
- no cut, no blade technique
- Minimally Invasive, day care procedure
- Faster Recovery.
Reduced Risk of Incontinence: Laser fissurectomy targets only the affected area, reducing the risk of damage to surrounding muscles and nerves.

LASER HEMORRHOIDOPLASTY
Haemorrhoids cause discomfort, pain, and bleeding Among various treatment options available, laser hemorrhoidoplasty is the best choice. Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, are swollen veins in the lower part of anal canal. There are external and internal types.Common symptoms include itching, pain, and bleeding during bowel movement.
What is Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty?
Laser hemorrhoidoplasty is a minimally invasive advanced Laser treatment for piles used to shrink the haemorrhoids with a precise laser beam. It is a nocut , no blade technique with a short hospital stay and early recovery. Patients with symptomatic hemorrhoids , not responding to medical management are ideal candidates for this procedure.
During the procedure, the surgeon uses a laser fiber to target and shrink the swollen hemorrhoidal tissue. The laser energy seals off the blood vessels, reducing blood flow to the hemorrhoids and promoting healing.
Studies have shown that laser hemorrhoidoplasty is highly effective in relieving symptoms and improving quality of life for patients with hemorrhoids. Long-term outcomes are generally favorable, with most patients experiencing significant relief and a low risk of recurrence.

LASER SURGERY FOR PILONIDAL SINUS
Pilonidal sinus is a condition characterized by the development of a small track or cyst at the base of the tailbone. It causes discomfort, pain, and even infection, discharge of pus if left untreated.
Pilonidal sinus typically occurs in the cleft of the buttocks and is more common in young adults. It often develops due to ingrown hairs, leading to the formation of a cyst or sinus tract beneath the skin. The condition can be recurrent if left untreated.
Laser treatment for pilonidal sinus involves the use of focused laser energy to target and destroy the affected tissue. laser treatment is minimally invasive and aims to seal the sinus tract without causing significant damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
Advantages of Laser Treatment for Pilonidal Sinus
- Minimal Invasive
- Fast recovery&early mobilisation.
- Lower Risk of Complications
Advanced Laser treatment for Pilonidal sinus reduces the risk of complications such as infection, bleeding, and scarring, which are commonly associated with traditional surgical procedures. The exact targeting of the laser helps minimize damage to surrounding tissues, leading to a smoother recovery process.
The Laser Procedure
During the procedure, the patient is given anaesthesia to sedate.
Laser treatment may be suitable for patients with uncomplicated pilonidal sinus who are looking for a minimally invasive treatment option. However, not all patients may be candidates for this procedure, and a thorough evaluation by a qualified surgeon is necessary to determine it.
