The laser treatment procedure for piles is performed as an outpatient procedure, which means that patients do not need to stay overnight in the hospital. The treatment typically takes less than 30 minutes, and patients can go home the same day. Before the procedure begins, local anesthesia is administered to ensure that the patient is comfortable and pain-free throughout the treatment. A laser fiber is then inserted into the anal canal, where it directs precise laser energy onto the hemorrhoidal tissue, causing it to shrink and eventually fall off. This approach is particularly advantageous because it is much less invasive than traditional surgical methods, such as hemorrhoidectomy, and there is minimal to no bleeding during the process. Additionally, because the laser is so precise, only the targeted tissue is affected, leaving the surrounding healthy tissues unharmed.
