About the procedure

What is laser piles surgery?

Laser hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP) uses a laser fibre inserted into the hemorrhoidal tissue to deliver precise laser energy, causing the hemorrhoidal blood vessels to shrink and the supporting tissue to tighten. Unlike conventional surgery, there is no cutting of the anal skin, no external wound, and no sutures — making it significantly more comfortable than traditional open hemorrhoidectomy.

The procedure takes approximately 30 minutes under short general or spinal anaesthesia. You are discharged the same day and can walk home, eat a normal meal, and resume light activities the same evening.

Laser treatment is most effective for Grade 1, 2 and early Grade 3 hemorrhoids. For large prolapsing Grade 3 or Grade 4 hemorrhoids, a stapler (PPH) or LigaSure approach may be more appropriate — this is assessed at your consultation.

Who needs this procedure

Is this surgery right for you?

A consultation with Dr Samir Contractor is required for a definitive assessment of candidacy.

✓ SUITABLE Typical candidates

  • Grade 1, 2, or early Grade 3 hemorrhoids
  • Bleeding piles not responding to medication
  • Prolapsing hemorrhoids that can be manually reduced
  • Patients seeking a less painful, faster-recovery option
  • Recurrence after rubber-band ligation
  • Patients unable to take prolonged leave from work

✗ DISCUSS FIRST May need alternative approach

  • Grade 4 hemorrhoids (fixed prolapse — consider PPH or LigaSure)
  • Thrombosed external hemorrhoids (different treatment)
  • Active perianal infection or abscess (treat first)
  • Associated anal fissure or fistula (may require combined procedure)
  • Patients on anticoagulants (requires pre-operative adjustment)
Why this treatment

Benefits of the surgical approach

Virtually painless recovery

No external wound means dramatically less postoperative pain. Most patients describe mild discomfort — like a sore — rather than acute pain.

Same-day discharge

Admitted, treated and home within 4–6 hours. No overnight hospital stay for most patients.

No external wound or suture

The laser operates entirely within the anal canal. No cutting of perianal skin, no sutures, no dressings required at home.

Back to work in 2–3 days

Most desk workers return to work within 2–3 days — comparable to taking a long weekend for a medical procedure.

How it's done

The procedure, step by step

1

Anaesthesia

Short general anaesthesia or spinal anaesthesia (30–45 minutes total). You are completely comfortable throughout.

2

Positioning and proctoscopy

You are positioned in the lithotomy position. A proctoscope is gently inserted to visualise the hemorrhoids and identify their feeding vessels (the submucosal arteries).

3

Doppler identification

A Doppler probe may be used to precisely locate the terminal branches of the superior hemorrhoidal artery that supply the hemorrhoidal cushions — ensuring accurate laser delivery.

4

Laser fibre insertion

A thin laser fibre (980 nm diode laser) is inserted directly into the hemorrhoidal tissue through the proctoscope. No skin incision is needed.

5

Laser energy delivery

Laser energy is applied in controlled pulses, coagulating the hemorrhoidal blood vessels and causing the swollen tissue to shrink. The fibre is withdrawn in a controlled manner, treating the entire hemorrhoid.

6

Recovery and discharge

You are moved to recovery for 60–90 minutes, then to the day-care ward. Once fully awake and comfortable, you are discharged — typically within 3–4 hours of the procedure.

What to expect

Your recovery timeline

Day 0

Procedure day

Discharged 3–4 hours post-procedure. Mild fullness or discomfort in the anal area is normal. Normal soft diet the same evening — dal, khichdi, curd.

Day 1–2

Rest at home

Light walking encouraged. Mild soreness during bowel movements is common and managed with stool softener (Duphalac / Cremaffin) and paracetamol. Normal Indian diet — avoid very spicy food.

Day 3

Return to desk work

Most office workers and teachers return to work. Driving is fine if comfortable. Avoid prolonged sitting on hard surfaces.

Week 1–2

Full light activity

Light gym, walking, cycling. All foods tolerated. Sitz baths (warm water soaks) 2–3 times daily speed healing.

Week 3–4

Normal activity

Full physical activity resumed. Final check-up with Dr Samir at 4 weeks. Continue high-fibre diet long-term to prevent recurrence.

Quick answers

Frequently asked questions about Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty (Laser Piles Surgery)

Is laser piles surgery painful?
Laser hemorrhoidoplasty is one of the least painful surgical treatments for piles available today. The procedure itself is performed under anaesthesia, so you feel nothing. After surgery, most patients experience mild discomfort — particularly during the first bowel movement — which is managed effectively with stool softeners and oral paracetamol. The absence of an external wound is the key reason laser surgery is so much more comfortable than open hemorrhoidectomy.
How long does the laser piles procedure take?
The actual laser treatment takes 15–30 minutes. Including anaesthesia, positioning and recovery, you are typically in the hospital for 4–6 hours total. The procedure is performed on a day-care basis — you are admitted in the morning and discharged by afternoon.
Will my piles come back after laser surgery?
Laser hemorrhoidoplasty has a recurrence rate of under 5% at 2 years when combined with dietary changes — increasing fibre intake (fruits, vegetables, whole grains), drinking 2–3 litres of water daily, and avoiding prolonged straining. Most recurrences are attributable to persistent constipation or dietary habits rather than the procedure itself.
How many sittings of laser treatment are needed?
Typically one sitting is sufficient. Depending on the number and grade of hemorrhoids, occasionally 2–3 hemorrhoidal columns are treated in the same session. It is unusual to need more than one procedure.
What grade of piles is treated with laser?
Laser hemorrhoidoplasty is most effective for Grade 1 (small, internal, no prolapse), Grade 2 (prolapse with straining but reduces spontaneously), and early Grade 3 (requires manual reduction after prolapse). For Grade 4 (fixed prolapse that cannot be reduced) or large Grade 3 hemorrhoids, a stapler PPH or LigaSure hemorrhoidectomy gives more reliable long-term results. Your grade is assessed by proctoscopy at consultation.
What diet should I follow after laser piles surgery?
Day 1–3: soft, non-spicy food — dal, khichdi, curd, banana, soft-cooked vegetables, buttermilk. Week 1–2: regular Indian diet, avoiding very spicy curries and excessive chilli. Week 2 onwards: actively increase fibre — add green leafy vegetables, fruits, whole wheat roti, oats, and lentils. Long-term: 2–3 litres of water daily and a high-fibre diet are the most important factors in preventing recurrence.

What patients say after their treatment

"

I had been suffering with Grade 2 piles for 18 months, too embarrassed to see anyone. Dr Samir was completely professional and non-judgemental. The laser procedure was done in 30 minutes, I was home for lunch, and at work two days later. Absolutely no regrets.

Came from Anand on recommendation. Bleeding piles for three years, always postponing. Dr Samir explained everything clearly including why my diet was causing it. Procedure was painless, recovery was easy. Diet changes he suggested have kept me problem-free since.
