Nawaloka Hospitals proudly announces the introduction of laser hemorrhoids surgery, marking a significant milestone as the first private sector hospital in Sri Lanka to offer this service.
Laser hemorrhoids surgery a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes a fine laser beam to coagulate affected tissue while leaving not removing any tissue. This innovative approach to treating haemorrhoids offers patients numerous benefits compared to traditional surgical methods such as no pain and quick recovery and back to work in less than 2 days.
“Introducing Laser Hemorrhoid Surgery at Nawaloka Hospitals represents our commitment to providing state-of-the-art healthcare services to the people of Sri Lanka,” said Nawaloka Hospitals Gastroenterological Surgeon Dr. Maiya Gunasekara. This advanced treatment option offers patients a safer, quicker, and more effective solution for managing hemorrhoids.
Patients undergoing laser hemorrhoids surgery experience minimal pain during and after the procedure, as the laser cutting technique is significantly less invasive compared to traditional surgeries. The risk of post-surgical complications such as bleeding and infection is significantly reduced, leading to faster recovery and fewer follow-up visits.
It’s essential to note that hemorrhoids affect a significant portion of the global population. If you take the total world’s population, this condition is present in 4.4% of people worldwide. In any given population, above 50% of people over the age of 50 are at risk of developing hemorrhoids during their lifetime.
Understanding the causes and symptoms of hemorrhoids is crucial for early detection and treatment. “Some people are at higher risk of developing hemorrhoids if they have a family history, such as their parents, who have a history of hemorrhoids, giving us an idea that there is a genetic predisposition to developing the condition,” explained Dr. Gunasekar.
Patients are encouraged to seek medical attention during the early stages of hemorrhoids symptoms, ideally consulting with a proctologist during the first two stages. “Notice symptoms like burning sensations, itching, or strains in bowel movements. Do not ignore chronic constipation symptoms. In case of any of the above symptoms, visit the hospital immediately to treat it before it worsens. Laser surgery can perforate in 1st and 2nd stage & 3rd stage of hemorrhoids effectively, advised Dr. Gunasekar.”
