Circumferential haemorrhoidectomy by laser CO2

ABSTRACT

Purpose: Estimate the results of circumferential haemorrhoidectomy with laser CO2. Methods: A prospective study of 228 patients with circumferential haemorrhoids. All had been operated by "restricted and pilesize heamorrhoidectomy" technique and performed with laser CO2. Follow up 1 year to over 5 years. Results: less operative bleeding, operating faster, less post-op, painful and heamorrhage, mean wound healing within 24 days, short hospitalization, none late complication (anal fissura, fistula, whitehead deformity...) and recurrence. Conclusion: Circumferential heamorrhoidectomy using laser CO2 and author's technique is safe, effective and quick recover.
