Ambulatory haemorrhoidectomy by laser CO2

ABSTRACT

A prospective study of ambulatory CO2 laser hemorrhoidectomy. 295 consecutive patients (147 males, 148 females), mean age of 39 years (18-72), 97 cases of them (41 circumferential hemorrhoids, 56 piles) were strict follow-up from 3 months to one year. All had been operated by “restricted and pile-size hemorrhoidectomy” technique and performed with CO2¬ laser. Less operative bleeding (about 90% <20 ml), operating faster (average 23.58 min), less painful (78.4% degree A + B), none post - op, hemorrhage, mean wound healing within 4 weeks, none late complication (anal fissure, fistula, deformity...) and recurrence. Hemorrhoidectomy using CO2 laser and author’s technique is safe, effective and no-hospitalization.
