HAEMORRHOIDS are pathologically enlarged veins in the rectum - nodular swellings that may bring about bleeding, itching, and burning.
Statistics have revealed that nearly half the population suffers from haemorrhoids by the time they reach the age of 50. An operation is often necessary in about 10% to 20% of all haemorrhoid-causing complaints.
Performed under
ambulant/day-care conditions,
the big advantage is that the
haemorrhoids are not removed
in the usual manner with an
operation.
Incisions and sutures are not
necessary. In contrast to the
conventional operative removal
of the haemorrhoids, no open
wound occurs.
As a result, the risk of
infections is mitigated.
A delicate haemorrhoids surgery procedure made remarkably less complex and minimally invasive, using laser haemorrhoid therapy.
Dr. K. Jeyaratnam conducts a typical laser haemorrhoid procedure keenly observed by a team of visiting surgeons.
