Nawaloka Hospitals introduces laser hemorrhoid surgery

Nawaloka Hospitals proudly announces the introduction of laser hemorrhoid surgery, marking a significant milestone as the first private sector hospital in Sri Lanka to offer this service.

Laser hemorrhoid surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes a fine laser beam to coagulate affected tissue while leaving not removing any tissue. This innovative approach to treating hemorrhoids offers patients numerous benefits compared to traditional surgical methods, such as no pain quick recovery, and back to work in less than 2 days.

“Introducing Laser Hemorrhoid Surgery at Nawaloka Hospitals represents our commitment to providing state-of-the-art healthcare services to the people of Sri Lanka,” said Nawaloka Hospitals Gastroenterological Surgeon Dr. Maiya Gunasekara. This advanced treatment option offers patients a safer, quicker, and more effective solution for managing hemorrhoids.

Patients undergoing laser hemorrhoid surgery experience minimal pain during and after the procedure, as the laser cutting technique is significantly less invasive compared to traditional surgeries. The risk of post-surgical complications such as bleeding and infection is significantly reduced, leading to faster recovery and fewer follow-up visits.

It’s essential to note that hemorrhoids affect a significant portion of the global population. If you take the total world’s population, this condition affects 4.4% of people worldwide. In any given population, above 50% of people over the age of 50 are at risk of developing hemorrhoids during their lifetime.
