Hemorrhoids,also known as piles, are small anatomical structures located inside the anus. About one third of adults suffer from them. They occur most often in pregnant women, caused by pressure exerted by the fetus increasing blood pressure in the hemorrhoids. The disease also affects people leading a sedentary lifestyle (very common in professional drivers) and people who are over 50 years old. The task of hemorrhoids is to maintain rectum tightness, but they become enlarged causing much pain and discomfort. The main factors contributing to the development of hemorrhoids include: pregnancy (particularly spontaneous labor), obesity, unhealthy eating, constipation, excessive alcohol and coffee consumption, and activities that increase intra-abdominal pressure, which include lifting heavy objects.

Hemorrhoid laser ablation is performed using a Diode laser. A thin laser fiber is introduced into the hemorrhoids under local anesthesia and an emission of laser energy coagulates the hemorrhoid from the inside. After some time the hemorrhoids will disappear. This minimally invasive surgery approach is an outpatient technique with minimal pain and downtime.

Cherylas 30watts 980nm Technical Specification:

980-nm diode laser-pulsed shot causes shrinkage of tissue. The depth of shrinkage can be regulated by the power and

duration of the laser beam. Through a 1000-micron conic fiber, five laser shots generated at a power of 13 W with duration of 1.2 s each and a pause of 0.6 s caused shrinkage of tissues to the depth of approximately 5 mm. Terminal branches of the superior hemorrhoidal artery in the anal canal, if precisely identified through a Doppler signal, can be closed with the use of this laser.

What are the advantages of Cherylas 30watts 980nm lasers?

Cherylas offer a lot of advantages when used in the treatment of haemorrhoids.

1.Average operative time is less than conventional surgical procedures.

2.Intraoperative as well as postoperative bleeding is significantly less.

3.Postoperative pain is considerably less.

4.Good and rapid healing of operated area with minimal inflammation.

5.Quicker recovery and early return to normal lifestyle.

6.Many procedures can be done under local or regional anaesthetia.

7.Complication rate is much less.

Other colorectal pathologies like, fistula-in-ano, polyps, condylomatosis, haemangiomas, recurrent or advanced carcinomas can be very effectively treated by lasers simultaneously or separately.
