Laser Hermorrhoidoplasty - LHP®

Minimally invasive therapy for hemorrhoids

This approach is used for the treatment of advanced hemorrhoids under appropriate anesthesia. The energy of the laser is inserted centrally into the hemorrhoidal node. By this technique the hemorrhoid can be treated according to its size without causing any damage to the anoderm or mucosa.

Description

If reduction of the hemorrhoidal cushion is indicated (no matter if it is segmental or circular), this therapy will provide you with an improved patient outcome especially regarding pain and recovery compared to conventional surgical proceeding for 2nd and 3rd degree hemorrhoids. Under proper local or general anesthesia, the controlled laser energy deposition obliterates the nodes from the inside and preserves the mucosa and sphincter structures to an extremely high degree.

  • Tissue reduction in the hemorrhoidal node
  • Closure of the arteries entering the CCR feeding the hemorrhoidal cushion
  • Maximum preservation of muscle, anal canal lining, and mucosa
  • Restoration of the natural anatomical structure

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 a prolapse. LHP® is not associated with any risk of stenosis. Healing is excellent because, unlike conventional surgeries, there are no incisions or stitches. Access into 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 postoperative pain and can return to normal activities within a shorter space of time.
