How Does Laser in Piles and Fissure Treatment Work? | Dr. Karan R. Rawat Explains

By Dr. Karan R. Rawat, Proctologist & Laser Specialist

Modern medicine has evolved remarkably, and one of the most effective breakthroughs in proctology is laser treatment for piles (hemorrhoids) and anal fissures. These minimally invasive procedures offer patients faster relief, minimal pain, and a quicker return to daily life — and have become a preferred alternative to traditional surgeries.

Let’s understand how laser treatment works, and why it’s revolutionizing the way we treat anorectal conditions.

🔬 What Are Piles and Fissures?

  • Piles (Hemorrhoids): Swollen veins in the rectum or anus that cause bleeding, pain, itching, or discomfort.

  • Anal Fissure: A small tear or cut in the lining of the anal canal, often caused by hard stools, leading to sharp pain and bleeding during bowel movements.

While conservative treatment like diet change and medication may work for early stages, advanced or chronic cases often require surgical intervention — and that’s where laser treatment comes in.

💡 How Does Laser Treatment Work?

Laser treatment uses a focused beam of light energy to precisely target the affected tissue without damaging surrounding healthy areas.

For Piles (Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty):

  • A laser probe is inserted into the anal canal.

  • The laser energy shrinks the enlarged hemorrhoidal tissue by cutting off its blood supply.

  • The piles shrink and dry up over time, with no cutting or stitches required.

For Fissures (Laser Sphincterotomy or Fissurectomy):

  • A small amount of laser energy is used to release tension in the internal anal sphincter.

  • The fissure area is cleaned and stimulated to heal faster.

  • Laser promotes better blood flow, reducing spasms and pain.

✅ Advantages of Laser Treatment

  • Minimally Invasive – No large cuts or open wounds

  • Less Pain – Patients report significantly less post-operative pain

  • Quick Recovery – Most people resume normal activities in 2–3 days

  • Bloodless Procedure – Laser cauterizes as it cuts, reducing bleeding

  • No Hospital Stay – Often done as a daycare procedure

  • Lower Risk of Recurrence – With proper care, recurrence is minimal

🔄 Traditional vs. Laser Surgery: What’s the Difference?

Feature Traditional Surgery Laser Treatment
Pain Moderate to severe Mild
Hospital Stay 2–3 days Usually Daycare (Same Day)
Recovery Time 1–2 weeks or more 2–4 days
Blood Loss More Minimal
Stitches Required Not needed
