Therapeutic Options for Hemorrhoids

Modern, Effective, and Minimally Invasive Treatments- Overview of Treatment Options


We offer a full range of advanced techniques to treat hemorrhoids, tailored to your condition and comfort level.

From Least to Most Invasive:

  • Sclerotherapy Injections: Ideal for mild bleeding. Quick and effective. Performed in the office.
  • Elastic Band Ligation: Painless and simple. Best for internal hemorrhoids that don’t protrude. No anesthesia needed.
  • HAL / THD Methods: Use Doppler ultrasound to ligate arteries feeding the hemorrhoids. Suitable for more advanced or prolapsing hemorrhoids.

HAL-RAR Technique

  • Identify Arteries: Ultrasound locates arteries for precise ligation.
  • Shrink and Lift: Sutures are used to lift prolapsed hemorrhoids.

Minimally uncomfortable, Bluetooth-enabled Trilogy HAL system.

Advantages of Ultrasound-Guided Treatments

  • No surgical incisions
  • Same-day discharge
  • Minimal pain
  • Treats rectal laxity
  • Quick recovery

Laser Treatment in Proctology

Laser therapy is modern, efficient, and highly precise. It offers rapid recovery with fewer complications.

Benefits:

  • Short procedure time
  • Rapid return to daily life
  • High precision
  • Immediate symptom relief
  • Minimal bleeding and trauma
  • Little to no post-op pain
  • Low infection risk
  • No risk to sphincter function
  • Often performed under local anesthesia

Laser + Ultrasound = Best of Both

  • Less pain
  • Faster healing
  • Complete recovery
  • Quick return to daily life

Types of Laser We Use

  • Diode Laser (LHP): Shrinks internal hemorrhoids via coagulation. Minimal tissue damage.
  • CO₂ Laser: Removes external hemorrhoids precisely. Minimal heat injury to surrounding tissue.

Older Surgical Techniques

  • Peter Lord Technique: High risk of incontinence.
  • Longo Technique: Declining use due to recurrence and complications.
  • Milligan-Morgan: Still used for advanced cases. Less trauma with Ultracision or Radiofrequency.
