In the treatment of hemorrhoids (piles), the core philosophy is not only to eliminate existing hemorrhoidal cushions but also to meticulously protect the anal canal’s natural anatomy and the sphincter muscles responsible for bowel control. All procedures performed in our clinic aim for a recovery that preserves physiological integrity, ensuring patients do not have to fear complications like post-operative incontinence.
Laser Hemorrhoid Surgery vs. Classic Surgery
The choice of method is determined entirely by the stage of the hemorrhoids and the condition of the tissue. Unlike popular misconceptions, we prioritize scientific facts in our approach:
- Laser Method: Laser is not a suitable solution for every hemorrhoid patient. It is generally effective for Stage 2 and Stage 3 (early-stage) hemorrhoids to shrink the tissue. In advanced cases (Stage 4), laser alone may be insufficient and can lead to a quick recurrence. Furthermore, uncontrolled laser energy can cause deep burns to the anal muscles (sphincter), leading to fecal incontinence or complications like difficult-to-treat anal strictures (narrowing) due to scarring.
- Classic (Surgical) Method: For advanced, prolapsed hemorrhoids, the most permanent and reliable results are achieved through surgery. In our approach, classic surgery does not mean cutting the muscles. Using sphincter-sparing techniques, the prolapsed piles are removed, and additional issues like anal fissures are addressed simultaneously.
Does hemorrhoid surgery hurt?
Thanks to modern anesthesia methods applied during the operation, patients feel no pain during the procedure. Our clinic’s priority is to manage the post-operative process as painlessly as the surgery itself. Whether under local or general anesthesia, patient comfort is maintained at the highest level.
How many minutes does hemorrhoid surgery take?
Hemorrhoid operations typically take between 35 and 45 minutes, depending on the number of piles to be treated and the method chosen. Patients can rest in their rooms for a short period after the procedure and are usually discharged on foot the same day.
How many days does it take to recover after hemorrhoid surgery?
When performed with appropriate surgical methods, complete tissue healing can take up to 15 days. However, patients generally begin to feel well and return to their routine within 2 to 3 days. The goal is to ensure permanent healing without causing tissue damage, rather than just a “fast” recovery.
Is there pain after hemorrhoid surgery?
The most important factor determining post-operative pain is the surgeon’s approach to the tissues and muscles (sphincter). With tissue-respecting surgery, as long as the sphincter muscles are not touched or damaged by laser or energy devices, patients do not experience the severe pain often feared during the first bowel movement. Any mild discomfort can be easily managed with standard prescribed medications.
Hemorrhoid surgery prices
Hemorrhoid surgery prices vary based on the stage of the disease and the technical details of the procedure. Additionally, the presence of accompanying issues such as an Anal Fissure or stricture will alter the surgical plan. The most accurate pricing information is provided following a detailed proctological examination.
