Hemorrhoids are swelling and inflammation of the blood vessels around the anus or lower rectum, often referred to as piles. Symptoms may include itching, pain or burning sensation, bleeding after bowel movements, and lumps that protrude from the anus. One of the modern methods available to treat this condition is laser hemorrhoidoplasty, which is offered at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri.

What is Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty?
Laser hemorrhoidoplasty is a medical procedure that uses advanced laser technology to treat hemorrhoids. During the treatment, the blood supply to the hemorrhoid is reduced by cauterizing it with a laser beam.
This method is highly precise, ensuring that surrounding tissue and the anal sphincter muscles remain intact. With this technique, patients can benefit from safer treatment, minimal pain, and faster recovery compared to conventional surgical methods. Laser hemorrhoidoplasty is considered one of the modern options for hemorrhoid management with lower risk of complications.
How Does Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty Work?
Here is how the procedure is performed:
- Before the procedure, the anesthesiologist administers anesthesia to ensure the patient feels no pain.
- The surgeon inserts a laser probe into the hemorrhoid tissue.
- High-heat laser energy closes the blood vessels feeding the hemorrhoid.
- As a result, the hemorrhoidal lump shrinks and the risk of excessive bleeding during or after the procedure is minimized.
“Today, we can use lasers to treat hemorrhoids. At Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri, we have a method called laser hemorrhoidoplasty. This technology uses a diode laser that works by shrinking the dilated blood vessels—without any incision,” explained dr. Tiur Herlina J., Sp.B, General Surgeon at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri.
dr. Tiur emphasized that conventional hemorrhoid surgery is one of the most painful procedures. For patients looking for a less painful alternative, laser hemorrhoidoplasty can be the solution.
“Since hemorrhoid surgery is considered one of the most painful surgeries, patients often ask how to avoid the pain. With laser hemorrhoidoplasty, the level of pain is minimal. In fact, patients can return to their normal activities just one day after surgery,” she added.
Advantages of Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty
Compared to conventional methods, laser hemorrhoidoplasty offers several benefits:
- Lower risk and complications: The procedure carries fewer risks than traditional surgery, providing patients with greater peace of mind and reducing the likelihood of serious complications.
- Less pain: Patients generally experience significantly less pain after the procedure, making recovery more comfortable and less disruptive to daily life.
- Faster recovery: Healing time is shorter, allowing patients to return to their normal routines quickly with minimal downtime.
