Περιγραφή
The use of diode lasers in proctology provides excellent cutting/coagulant control by limiting thermal damage to surrounding tissue and reducing post-operative pain.
Laser diode surgery in the field of proctology can be primarily used in treating haemorrhoids with the Hemofiber photocoagulation system as well as the endoscopic photocoagulation of the haemorrhoidal peduncles which cuts off the supply of blood to the haemorrhoid and thus reduces the volume with subsequent fibrosis.
Another source of interest is the occlusion of anal and perianal fistulas where the radial laser radius is superior to electrosurgery.
The diode laser can also be used for dermatological anal and perianal disease (condylomas) by vaporizing and coagulating the lesions. The aspiration of the surgical fumes and the use of protective masks is recommended for this indication.
