This type of surgery, most often performed by a surgeon, would require the patient to be under anesthesia. Laser Haemorrhoido Plasty (LHP) because of its advanced technology, eases the work of the doctor who is operating.
As the process is not too painful for the sufferer, in almost all cases hospitalization is not required.
Bleeding during surgery is minimal as the blood vessels are sealed by the laser. Tissues around the haemorrhoid are also not damaged, thus avoiding other medical complications. The wound heals faster as a result.
