Laser Treatment in Hemorrhoidal Disease - Our Experience

Abstract

Cilj: U ovome se članku iznose iskustva, tehnika i rezultati u 21 bolesnika s hemoroidalnom bolešću, koji su operirani diodnim laserom. Metode: Učinjena je hemoroidektomija diodnim laserom u 21 bolesnika s verificiranim II.-III. stupnjem hemoroidalne bolesti. Rezultati: Prosječno trajanje operacije bilo je 15 ± 2 minute, a prosječna hospitalizacija 24 sata. Tijekom 12-omjesečnoga praćenja nije zabilježen ni jedan neželjeni događaj u vidu krvarenja, infekcije ili recidiva bolesti u svih operiranih bolesnika. Dodatna analgezija bila je potrebna u četvero bolesnika. Zaključak: Uporaba diodnoga lasera predstavlja dodatnu metodu u liječenju hemoroidalne bolesti te je potrebna daljnja evaluacija u budućim studijama, koja će potvrditi uspješnost te metode.Objective: This article brings experiences, technique and results in 21 patients with haemorrhoidal disease treated with diode laser. Methods: In this study, 21 patients with II-III grade haemorrhoidal disease were included and treated with diode laser. Results: Average operation time was 15 + 2 minutes, with 24-hour hospitalisation. During the follow-up period of 12 months, there were no observed complications, such as bleeding, infections or recurrence. Extra anaelgetics were required in four cases. Conclusion: The use of diode laser in haemorrhoidal disease represents an additional treatment method, where as further studies are yet to evaluate and definitely confirm the successfulness of this method
