Laser hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP) at Innova Cirugía

Internal hemorrhoids that do not respond to conservative treatments can cause pain, bleeding, and persistent discomfort. At Innova Cirugía, we offer laser hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP), a modern, minimally invasive, and highly effective technique that allows us to treat hemorrhoids precisely, safely, and with a faster recovery than traditional surgery.

What is laser hemorrhoidectomy (LHP)?

Laser hemorrhoidoplasty, also known as LHP, is an innovative surgical procedure that does not involve removing hemorrhoidal tissue, but rather applying laser energy directly into the hemorrhoid. This results in a controlled reduction of volume from within, preserving surrounding tissues and minimizing damage.

It is especially indicated in patients with internal hemorrhoids who have not responded to conservative or instrumental treatments, offering a less aggressive alternative to conventional surgery.

How is the procedure performed?

  1. Anesthesia and preparation: It is performed in an operating room with regional or general anesthesia, ensuring that the intervention is painless.
  2. Laser application: Surgeon Carlos Ortiz inserts the laser into the hemorrhoid to reduce its size in a controlled manner.
  3. Control and completion: The correct application of the laser is checked and the procedure is completed, ensuring minimal impact on surrounding tissues.
  4. Recovery: Thanks to the precision of the laser, bleeding, inflammation and postoperative pain are less than with traditional surgical techniques.
