      Traditional therapeutic approaches to the surgical management of hemorrhoid disease such as hemorrhoidectomies are plagued with severe postoperative pain and protracted recovery. Our pilot study aims to the laser hemorrhoidoplasty (LH) patients with symptomatic hemorrhoid disease that have failed conservative management for the first time in an Australian population.

      Laser hemorrhoidoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat hemorrhoids by using laser energy to shrink and coagulate the hemorrhoidal tissue. Unlike traditional surgical methods, laser hemorrhoidoplasty offers a gentler approach, minimizing pain and reducing recovery time.

      Laser haemorrhoidoplasty (LHP) is an emerging nonexcisional surgical procedure in which the arteriovenous flow of the haemorrhoidal plexus is interrupted through laser coagulation. The aim of this cohort study was to assess efficacy of LHP in treating symptomatic haemorrhoidal disease through patient satisfaction, remission of symptoms (blood loss, pain, itching, soiling, mucosal prolapse) and recurrence of haemorrhoids.
