Procedure : HAEMORRHOIDECTOMY (PILES SURGERY)
ABOUT HAEMORRHOIDECTOMY (PILES SURGERY):
Haemorrhoids or piles are swollen, painful and often inflamed veins in the lower portion of rectum and anus. They may be of internal or external types. There are minimally invasive options like Rubber band ligation (a special rubber band is placed around the base of the haemorrhoid cutting off circulation, causing the hemorrhoid to shrink), Sclerotherapy (a chemical solution is injected into the blood vessel to shrink the haemorrhoid) and Infrared/Laser coagulation (heat is used to shrink the haemorrhoid), which are tried first. If not helpful, surgical removal of hemorrhoids (Haemorrhoidectomy) is advised. It is generally required in patients with third or fourth degree haemorrhoids. This procedure is performed by a General Surgeon.
