Anorectal Surgery
Many people experience discomfort or pain related to the anus and rectum at some point in their lives. Conditions like hemorrhoids, anal fissures, fistulas, and pilonidal sinuses can significantly impact daily life, causing pain, bleeding, itching, and difficulty with bowel movements. At Sattva Piles Hospital, we understand the sensitive nature of these conditions and offer compassionate, state-of-the-art care to help you find relief and regain your quality of life. We specialize in advanced surgical techniques, including minimally invasive laser procedures, to provide the best possible outcomes with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Common Anorectal Conditions We Treat
Hemorrhoids: Swollen veins in the anus and rectum, which can be internal or external. Symptoms include pain, bleeding, itching, and prolapse (tissue protruding from the anus).
Anal Fissures: Small tears in the lining of the anus, often caused by hard stools or straining. They typically cause sharp pain during and after bowel movements, often with bleeding.
Anal Fistulas: Abnormal tunnels that connect the anal canal to the skin near the anus. They often result from an anal abscess (infection) and can cause pain, drainage, and recurrent infections.
Pilonidal Sinus/Cyst: A cyst or abcess that forms on the natal cleft.
Other Conditions: [Add any other relevant conditions you treat, such as rectal prolapse, anal warts (condyloma), etc.
The Advantages of Laser Anorectal Surgery
At Sattva Piles Hospital, we are proud to offer advanced laser surgery for many anorectal conditions. Laser surgery offers several significant advantages over traditional surgical methods:
Minimally Invasive: Laser energy is precisely focused, allowing for smaller incisions (or in some cases, no incisions at all). This minimizes trauma to surrounding healthy tissue.
Reduced Pain: The laser seals nerve endings as it works, which significantly reduces post-operative pain and discomfort.
Less Bleeding: The laser also seals small blood vessels, minimizing bleeding during and after the procedure.
Faster Healing: Because there is less tissue damage, patients typically experience faster healing and a quicker return to normal activities.
Improved Precision: The laser allows our surgeons to target the affected tissue with extreme accuracy, leading to better outcomes.
Reduced Risk of Complications: The minimally invasive nature of laser surgery often leads to a lower risk of complications such as infection and scarring.
Outpatient Procedures: The surgery can be done in an outpatient setting, that allows the patient to go home on the same day.
Specific Laser Procedures We Offer
Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP): For internal hemorrhoids, a laser fiber is inserted into the hemorrhoid, and the laser energy causes the hemorrhoidal tissue to shrink and retract. This is often a very effective treatment with minimal pain and a quick recovery.
Laser Fissurectomy/Sphincterotomy: For anal fissures, the laser can be used to remove damaged tissue and, if necessary, gently relax the anal sphincter muscle to promote healing.
Laser Fistulotomy/Fistulectomy: For anal fistulas, the laser can be used to precisely ablate (destroy) or excise (remove) the fistula tract, minimizing damage to the surrounding sphincter muscles.
Laser treatment of pilonidal sinus: Laser can be precisely used to remove hair, debris, and infected tissue.
What to Expect During Your Consultation and Procedure
Consultation: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with one of our experienced colorectal surgeons. We will discuss your symptoms, medical history, and perform a physical examination (which may include a gentle digital rectal exam and/or anoscopy). We will explain your diagnosis and discuss all available treatment options, including the benefits and risks of each. We encourage you to ask questions and voice any concerns you may have.
Pre-Operative Preparation: If laser surgery is the recommended treatment, we will provide you with detailed pre-operative instructions. This may include dietary restrictions, bowel preparation (such as an enema), and instructions on medications.
The Procedure: Most laser anorectal procedures are performed under local anesthesia with sedation, meaning you will be comfortable and relaxed but not completely asleep. The procedure itself is typically quick, often taking less than 30 minutes, depending on the complexity of the condition.
Post-Operative Care: After the procedure, you will be monitored in a recovery area until you are ready to go home (usually the same day). We will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions, including pain management strategies, wound care, and dietary recommendations. We will also schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and ensure the best possible outcome.
