How LASER haemorrhoidoplasty has been done effectively?

(Case presentation on LASER haemorrhoidoplasty by Dr Sadiq Kazi)

Patient  aged 72 years male having bleeding per rectum since 5 years once or twice in a week…having prolapse since 2 years which he has to reduce manually…no other comorbid conditions….routine preoperative investigations are well and patient  was given fitness by physician…

Surgery was done under pudendal septa block with sedation..

First of all sigmoidoscopy done to confirm diagnosis and to rule out any other comorbid conditions

Supplying artery at apex of each pile mass identified and finger guided haemorrhoidal artery ligation FGHAL done with vicryl 2.0 figure of 8 stiches..

Done at 3,7,11 o’clock position..

Then conical laser fibre used… entered pile mass from mucocutenious junction..

Delivered energy at 8 Watts which is preset in IMDSL Laser machine…total 110 Jules of energy given to each pile mass…at 3 and 11 o’clock position at 7 o’clock only 1 degree hemorrhoid did not required it as ligation of supplying artery will be enough..

Ice pack was kept for 30 seconds after energy at each pile mass respectively..

Total operative time was 11 minutes…patient  was shifted in wheelchair…and started orally within one hour..

Patient was discharged after four hours of surgery…and has started his routine job from very next day as he owned a provision store…

Advice on discharge was given…to take care constipation vigorously with help of dietary modification and medication…may suffer bleeding per rectum occasionally and may also suffer mild prolapse for next 4 to 6 weeks…also explained about 10 to 12 percentage of recurrence..

Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty

Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty is a relatively new procedure for hemorrhoid treatment in which the haemorrhoidal blood flow is coagulated by the laser. Prior to procedure, patients need to be anesthetized by the anesthesiologist. Subsequently, the procedure will be conducted by the coloproctologist / colorectal surgeon; the laser probe will be inserted into the hemorrhoids. Due to an intense amount of heat, the laser beam cauterizes and seals off the blood vessels, therefore the hemorrhoid will simply shrink while reducing the risk of excessive bleeding during and after the procedure. Since laser Hemorrhoidoplasty is a precise procedure, it leaves no effect to the surrounding tissues as well as the anal sphincters. Benefits of using laser in this case

1. Minimal anesthesia
2. Same day discharge
3. Faster recovery
4. Instant shrinkage of pile mass
5. Minimal or no Blood loss
6. No cross infection
