Laser proctology is a specialized field that utilizes laser technology in the diagnosis and treatment of various conditions affecting the rectum and anus. In laser proctology, high-intensity laser beams are employed to cut, vaporize, or coagulate tissues with exceptional accuracy.
A fistula is an abnormal connection between the anal canal or rectum and the surrounding skin. They can be quite challenging to treat due to their intricate branching and proximity to sensitive sphincter muscles. Traditional surgery for complex fistulas often involves cutting and suturing, which can lead to pain, incontinence, and prolonged recovery times. Laser Proctology offers a precise and minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgical methods for managing complex fistula. The high-intensity laser beams used in this approach provide exceptional accuracy, enabling surgeons to cut, vaporize, or coagulate tissues with minimal damage to surrounding healthy structures.
The best part? It is an outpatient procedure. This approach has quite a few benefits compared to regular surgery, including
- Less invasive
- Reduced risk of bleeding
- Minimized damage to surrounding healthy tissues
- Quicker recovery time
- Reduced risk of incontinence
