Other treatments in this speciality
Laser Piles Surgery
Laser haemorrhoidoplasty uses a thin laser fibre to shrink piles from within by sealing the blood vessels that feed them. There is little or no external wound, so pain and recovery time are usually less than with conventional surgery.
Stapler Haemorrhoidopexy (MIPH)
Stapler haemorrhoidopexy uses a circular stapling device to lift prolapsing piles back into place and reduce their blood supply. Because the cut is made above the sensitive skin of the anus, it is usually less painful than conventional haemorrhoidectomy.
Haemorrhoidectomy
Haemorrhoidectomy is the surgical removal of piles. It has the lowest recurrence rate of piles treatments but usually involves more pain in the first weeks.
Rubber Band Ligation
A small rubber band is placed at the base of an internal pile to cut off its blood supply; the pile shrivels and falls off within about a week. It is a quick clinic procedure.
Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy
A small, controlled cut is made in the internal anal sphincter muscle to relieve the spasm that stops a chronic fissure from healing. It is highly effective for chronic fissures.
Laser Fissure Surgery
A laser is used to remove the unhealthy edges of a chronic fissure and any sentinel tag, encouraging healthy healing. It may be combined with sphincter relaxation.
