Laser Piles Surgery (LHP) vs Traditional Surgery: Why Laser is 10x Superior
By Dr. Vikram Singh (Senior Consultant - Minimal Access Surgery)•June 18, 2026•5 min read
### The Nightmare of Traditional Piles Surgery
Traditional open piles surgery involves cutting inflamed hemorrhoid cushions with scalpel blades, leaving raw wounds that require painful daily dressing changes for weeks.
### How Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP) Works
LHP uses a targeted diode laser fiber inserted inside the piles node. Laser energy coagulates blood vessels from within, shrinking the piles mass naturally without cutting outer skin.
### Comparison Table
- **Pain**: Open = Severe | Laser = Minimal
- **Dressing**: Open = 3-4 Weeks | Laser = None
- **Hospital Stay**: Open = 3 Days | Laser = 8 Hours (Same Day)
- **Work Resume**: Open = 2-3 Weeks | Laser = 48 Hours
