What is HERNIA?

It’s nothing but the abnormal exit of tissue or organ ( such as intestine, omentum, etc) through the wall of the cavity in which it normally resides. A hernia occurs when the inside layers of the abdominal wall weaken and then bulge or tear. This, in turn, can cause a loop of intestine or abdominal tissue to slip into the sac, causing severe pain and other potentially serious health problems.

  • Minimally invasive laser therapy of hemorrhoids
  • Controlled hemorrhoidal shrinkage
  • Very good hemostasis
  • Maximized preservation of continence
  • Small wound sizesLaser HemorrhoidoPexy (LHP)
    Also known as LaserHemorrhoidoPlasty
    This approach is used for the treatment of hemorrhoids under appropriate anesthesia. The fiber of the laser is inserted centrally into the hemorrhoidal node and energy is delivered. By this technique, hemorrhoids can be treated according to their size without causing any damage to the anoderm or mucosa.
  • If surgery is indicated, this therapy will provide you with an improved patient outcome especially regarding pain and recovery compared to conventional surgical proceeding for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th-degree hemorrhoids.
  • Under proper local or general anesthesia, the controlled laser energy delivery obliterates the hemorrhoids from the inside and preserves the mucosa and sphincter structures to an extremely high degree(Tissue reduction in the hemorrhoids).
  • The controlled emission of laser energy, which is applied submucosally, causes
    the hemorrhoidal mass to shrink.
  • In addition, fibrotic reconstruction generates new connective tissue, which ensures that the mucosa adheres to the underlying
    tissue.
  • This also prevents the occurrence or recurrence of prolapse. Laser hemorrhoidopexy is not associated with any risk of stenosis. Healing/result is excellent because, unlike conventional surgeries, there are no incisions/cut or stitches.
  • Access to the hemorrhoid is achieved by entering through a small perianal port. By this approach, no wounds are generated in the area of the anoderm or mucosa. As a result, the patient experiences less post-operative pain and can return to normal activities within a shorter space of time.
    1. No incisions
    2. No excisions
    3. No open woundsThree treatment principles with laser:
    1.  Reduction of the hemorrhoidal tissue, not total destruction/excision
    2. Reconstruction of the natural anatomy
    3. Nontouch of the anoderm

Testimonials

Dr. Abhijit Gotkhinde sir operated my father for piles using a laser technique. Initially, we were quite anxious but after discussing with him about the procedure we felt confident. Surgery was done in less than 30 min & it was absolutely pain-free. He recovered in a single day. Within 1 week he is ready to work. Now we are thinking we would have done the procedure prior only. I must say, Dr. Gotkhinde is the best laser surgeon for piles.
