Haemorrhoid Surgery

Hemorrhoids (commonly known as piles) are one of the most common medical conditions affecting adults, yet they remain a topic many are hesitant to discuss. Millions of people suffer in silence due to embarrassment, often delaying treatment until the pain becomes unbearable.

Prof. Dr. Taner Yiğit encourages patients to seek help early. With modern medical advancements, treating hemorrhoids is no longer a painful, drawn-out process. We offer discreet, effective, and minimally invasive solutions to restore your quality of life.

Understanding Hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the lower rectum and anus, similar to varicose veins. They can develop inside the rectum (internal hemorrhoids) or under the skin around the anus (external hemorrhoids).

While lifestyle factors like low-fiber diets, chronic constipation, and pregnancy play a major role, genetics and aging also contribute to the weakening of the tissues that support these veins.

When Should You Consider Surgery?

In early stages (Grade 1 and 2), dietary changes and medication often help. However, surgical intervention is recommended when:

• Persistent Bleeding: You notice frequent blood during bowel movements.

• Severe Pain: The hemorrhoids become thrombosed (clotted) or extremely painful.

• Prolapse: The tissue protrudes from the anal canal and cannot be pushed back in manually.

• Ineffective Medication: Creams and lifestyle changes no longer provide relief.

Modern Treatment Options: Beyond Traditional Surgery

Prof. Dr. Taner Yiğit utilizes the latest technology to ensure the procedure is as comfortable and effective as possible. Depending on the severity (grade) of your hemorrhoids, the following methods are used:

1. Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP) – The Minimally Invasive Choice

For many patients, Laser treatment is the preferred option. It is a “sphincter-saving” technique that treats the hemorrhoid without cutting the tissue.

• How it works: A focused laser fiber is inserted into the hemorrhoid cushion. The laser energy shrinks the hemorrhoid from the inside out, sealing the blood supply.

• Benefits: No open wounds, minimal pain after surgery, very low risk of complications, and a rapid return to daily life (often within 1–2 days).

2. Surgical Hemorrhoidectomy (Traditional)

For severe Grade 4 hemorrhoids or large external hemorrhoids, surgical removal remains the gold standard to prevent recurrence.

• How it works: The swollen tissue is surgically removed.

• Modern Approach: Prof. Dr. Yiğit uses advanced sealing devices (such as Ligasure or Harmonic Scalpel) which seal blood vessels while cutting, significantly reducing bleeding and operative time compared to older methods.

The Recovery Process

The fear of post-operative pain is the main reason patients avoid surgery. However, with modern laser techniques and advanced pain management, recovery is much smoother than in the past.

• Hospital Stay: Most procedures are performed as day-case surgeries or require a single night stay.

• Diet: Patients are placed on a high-fiber diet and hydration plan immediately to ensure soft bowel movements.

• Hygiene: Sitz baths (warm water soaks) are recommended to soothe the area and promote healing.

• Timeline: Laser patients often return to work within 2 days. Traditional surgery patients may require 1–2 weeks for full recovery.
