Abstract

Introduction: Stapler hemorrhoidopexy has evolved over time as a procedure of choice over conventional surgery due to less postoperative pain. Laser hemorrhoidoplasty is a novel procedure aimed at shrinking the terminal branches of hemorrhoidal arteries with fewer complications. The present study is aimed to compare these procedures. Methodology: 40 patients with grade II-III hemorrhoids were randomized in to two groups: Stapler hemorrhoidopexy and Laser hemorrhoidoplasty with 20 patients in each group. Results were compared and patients were followed up for minimum period of 3 months. Results: The mean operative time was 20 min in Laser Group and 32 min in Stappler Group. Conclusion: In terms of early postoperative pain and complications, Laser offers better results as compared to stapler . It was associated with a shorter hospital stay and early return to work. No significant complications were noted in Laser compared to Stappler. Laser is an extremely viable alternative to the popular Stappler for grade II-III hemorrhoids.
