What is Anorectal Surgery?
Anorectal surgery involves the surgical treatment of diseases that occur in the anus and rectum. These include conditions such as hemorrhoids, anal fistula and anal fissures. Modern methods such as laser technology are used to treat such conditions, which results in less pain after the procedure and a faster recovery. At our hospital in Çiğli, Izmir, we provide accurate diagnosis and treatment of these conditions.
How is it done?
- Hemorrhoid Treatment with Laser:
- Using laser energy, the veins with hemorrhoids are reduced in size or completely destroyed.
- This is done by targeting only the problem area without damaging the surrounding tissues, which speeds up the healing process.
- Fistula Treatment with Laser:
- In the treatment of fistula (abnormal tunnels in the anal area), the laser probe is placed inside the fistula tunnel.
- Laser energy burns infected tissues and supports the formation of healthy tissue.
What are the Symptoms?
- Symptoms of Hemorrhoids:
- Pain and discomfort in the anal area
- Itching and bleeding
- Feeling swelling or a small mass around the anus
- Anal Fistula Symptoms:
- Continuous or intermittent discharge around the anus
- Swelling and tenderness around the anus
- Recurrent abscesses and pain
What are the Treatment Methods?
- Laser Treatment: This treatment method using laser energy is a minimally invasive method. It provides less pain and faster recovery.
- Rubber Band Ligation: Rubber bands are used to compress the hemorrhoid veins and shrink the hemorrhoids by stopping blood flow.
- Surgical Excision: In advanced and large hemorrhoids or fistulas, the tissue is removed by traditional surgical methods.
- Sclerotherapy: An astringent drug is injected into the vein to shrink hemorrhoids.
These treatment options are planned according to the patient’s condition and severity of the condition and the most appropriate treatment method is determined.
