Surgical treatments for piles:
Hemorrhoidectomy: Performed under the influence of general or local anesthesia, this procedure is usually used to treat Piles of severe grades. During this procedure, the surgeon makes a number of incisions around the hemorrhoidal tissue. Then the surgeon ties off the swollen veins inside the hemorrhoids to prevent bleeding before completely removing the hemorrhoid. The complications of this procedure may include infections and difficulty in clearing the bladder.
Hemorrhoid stapling: Performed mostly in cases of internal piles, the stapling procedure disrupts the flow of blood to the inflamed tissues. During this procedure, the arterial blood vessels within the piles are completely cut off and this prevents blood from flowing any further to the piles vessels. Since the blood flow is cut off, the size of the piles significantly reduces and shrinks off with time. Hemorrhoid stapling surgery does not inflict much pain and it ensures a quick recovery. The complications of this procedure include rectal prolapse and there might be chances of recurrence.
Laser Surgery: By far, this is considered as the most advanced and effective Treatment of Piles. During this procedure, the surgeon uses a laser beam to burn and shrink the hemorrhoids by focussing a narrow beam of light on the anal tissues. The procedure is completely bloodless and inflicts very minimal or no pain. The chances of complications are also reduced to a greater extent, ensuring a faster recovery of the patient.
Non-surgical methods to treat piles:
Rubber band ligation: This is a very commonly performed minimally-invasive treatment forpPiles. The Proctologist or Anorectal surgeon during this procedure places a rubber band around the base of the internal piles. This rubber band prevents the blood from flowing through the tissue of the piles, causing it to shrink and fall off within a week.
Coagulation: This is a medical procedure that is used to treat piles of small and medium sizes. Only used for treating internal hemorrhoids, the surgeon in this procedure uses a beam of infrared light to remove the piles.
