15Watts 980nm Laser Treatment Of Piles Painless Hemorrhoid Removal
Piles (or haemorrhoids) are vascular tissue or 'cushions' located in the anal canal. They form part of the normal human anatomy, and function to help prevent leakage of stool or gas. Piles become problematic (haemorrhoidal disease) when they swell up and/or bleed during defecation. For some, both internal and external haemorrhoids can occur simultaneously. It is estimated that 35% of the population has a form of haemorrhoid. Generally, most cases of haemorrhoids are mild and people do not experience any symptoms.
Piles can be classified into four grades:
First degree: Internal piles that bleed, but do not prolapse past the anus (or 'pop out').
Second degree: Piles that prolapse past the anus during bowel movement but reduce spontaneously.
Third degree: Piles that are prolapsed and must be manually reduced.
Fourth degree: Piles that are permanently prolapsed and cannot be reduced, or piles with painful blood clots.
Bleeding before, during or after bowel movement
Bright red blood from the anus on the toilet paper or in the toilet bowl
Anal lumps
Pain or itching in the anal area

Laser Piles Treatment Method:
Hemorrhoidal LASER Procedure is a painless outpatient technique that does not require anesthesia, in addition to being safe and easy to perform. It is effective in reducing symptoms and complications of the hemorrhoidal disease grades I and II, with high satisfaction rates.
Without the need of anesthesia, terminal arterioles of the upper rectal artery are identified by a Doppler transducer (20 MHz probe 3 mm) placed on a specially designed proctoscope. After identification, it promotes arteriolar electrofulguration at 980 nm fiber laser diode, causing interruption of hemorrhoidal flow. This procedure is repeated circumferentially, following the clockwise positions.

What are the advantages of Berylas 15watts 980nm lasers?
Belas offer a lot of advantages when used in the treatment of haemorrhoids.
1. Average operative time is less than conventional surgical procedures.
2. Intraoperative as well as postoperative bleeding is significantly less.
3. Postoperative pain is considerably less.
4. Good and rapid healing of operated area with minimal inflammation.
5. Quicker recovery and early return to normal lifestyle.
6. Many procedures can be done under local or regional anaesthetia.
7. Complication rate is much less.
Other colorectal pathologies like, fistula-in-ano, polyps, condylomatosis, haemangiomas, recurrent or advanced carcinomas can be very effectively treated by lasers simultaneously or separately.
