Hemorrhoidectomy, Fissurectomy & Fistulectomy

Yashoda Super Speciality Hospitals offer a diverse range of treatment packages for hemorrhoidectomy, fissurectomy & fistulectomy. Various types of excellent quality world – class treatments provided at the Yashoda Hospitals under aforementioned medical procedures are as per following:

A. STAPLED hemorrhoidectomy:

The stapled hemorrhoidectomy is a surgical procedure that incorporates the steps of cutting and removal of anal hemorrhoidal vascular cushion. This procedure also removes abnormally enlarged hemorrhoidal tissue, followed by the repositioning of the remaining hemorrhoidal tissue back to its normal anatomic position.

Stapled hemorrhoidectomy is faster than traditional hemorrhoidectomy and is associated with much less pain than the latter. The risks of stapled hemorrhoidectomy include the following:

• Bleeding
• Infection
• Anal fissuring (tearing of the lining of the anal canal)
• Narrowing of the anal or rectal wall due to scarring
• Persistence of internal or external hemorrhoids
• Trauma to the rectal wall.

B. LASER hemorrhoidectomy:

LASER hemorrhoidectomy is relatively one of the latest procedures of coagulation of the hemorrhoidal blood flow by the LASER for treating the hemorrhoid related health disorder. The surgery is conducted by the hands of a highly experienced surgeon. The intense amount of heat of the LASER beam cauterizes and seals off the blood vessels, therefore shrinking the hemorrhoid while reducing the risk of excessive bleeding during and after the procedure. It is a surgical procedure of high – end precision because it leaves no effect to the surrounding tissues as well as the anal sphincters.

Following are the advantages associated with the LASER hemorrhoidectomy:

• Fewer potential risks and complications
• Less pain
• High recovery rate

LASER hemorrhoidectomy is considered a minimally invasive procedure for hemorrhoid treatment that allows the patient to achieve the best possible outcomes with minimal discomfort, rapid recovery.

C. LASER fissurectomy:

In the case of chronic anal fissure, LASER fissurectomy is the surgical procedure of the first choice. It includes the following:

• Peeling of the anal fissure
• Converting a deep & tight wound into a shallow & smooth wound
• Removal of all pathological growths
• Dissolving the scarring and restoring the elasticity of the anus
• Sealing the wound edges to reduce bleeding
• Open wound treatment to prevent infections
• Fine tissue examination to exclude malignant degeneration

The LASER fissurectomy surgical procedure provides benefits in terms of:

• Faster healing time
• Better functional and aesthetic quality of the scar.

The use of the Diode LASER with the aid of a magnifying glass (for detailed observation) during fissurectomy offers the aforementioned advantages.

D. LASER fistulectomy:

Healing of a fistula without a proper and timely surgery is almost impossible. All the possibilities of healing an anal fistula through medication or special wound care have not been fulfilled so far. Hence, the diagnosis of an anal fistula is usually a clear indication for employing a surgical procedure and serves to prevent a recurrent septic process. The spontaneous healing of an anal fistula without any proper surgical intervention can be considered as an extremely unlikely event to occur anyhow.

At Yashoda Hospitals, LASER fistulectomy involves:

• Identification of the fistula origin
• Peeling it off through the LASER with the aid of magnifying glass.

Advantages associated with LASER fistulectomy:

• The probability of relapses (recurrences) of fistula is very low
• A ‘bloodless surgical procedure’
• Faster healing
• Scars become smooth and elastic over the time.

LASER treatment for Pilonidal Sinus:

Employing LASER to some surgical procedures has resulted in a revolutionary aftermath that offers multiple advantages. In this line, the treatment for Pilonidal Sinus has given quite surprising results, such as:

• The destruction of a pilonidal cyst with a LASER probe is a safe, simple and minimally invasive technique
• The success rate is much better than the traditional surgical method(s)
• The hospital stay of the patient is short
• The pain is comparatively lesser
• The complications are few to almost negligible
• The number of patients needing post-operative care is in the least

The LASER guided technique is set to be proposed as the first – line treatment to the majority of patients suffering from a pilonidal sinus health disorder.
