What are the Types of Piles Surgery?

Without Anesthesia

Banding:This is an outpatient procedure where a tight band is monitored on the basis of hemorrhoid to cut off its blood supply. It usually requires two or more procedures, which occur a month or two apart. However, if you are someone who is taking blood thinners, this treatment isn’t recommended.

Sclerotherapy:During this procedure, a chemical is injected into hemorrhoid to ensure it shrinks and the bleeding stops.

Coagulation therapy: This treatment uses infrared light to ensure the hemorrhoid shrinks and the condition gets rectified.

Haemorrhoid artery ligation: Here, the blood vessels that are responsible for the hemorrhoids are treated to makes sure that your condition is rectified.

With Anesthesia

Hemorrhoidectomy

This treatment can be performed for both internal and external piles. Generally, when all other treatments fail, your doctor might opt for this one depending on the severity of the condition. This is a procedure that’s performed in the hospital under anesthesia. Once the anesthesia takes effect, your doctor will cut the large hemorrhoids and you will be kept under observation post-surgery. After ensuring all your vitals are stable, you will be discharged.

Hemorrhoidopexy

This surgery is also known as stapling, which is conducted under anesthesia and the patient is discharged on the same day after the surgery. The recovery time is less and it is not very painful too. During this procedure, hemorrhoid’s blood supply is cut off to ensure the tissue shrinks.

If you are someone who is noticing hemorrhoid symptoms, make sure that you notice its progression and if they are getting severe or it is painful, make sure you visit your doctor immediately.
