The Pain-Free Solution: Why THD is the Best Choice for Hemorrhoid Surgery

Hemorrhoids are a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. While several treatment options are available for hemorrhoids, one technique that has gained popularity in recent years is transanal hemorrhoidal dearterilization (THD) AKA "Laser Surgery". THD is a minimally invasive procedure that offers several advantages over other hemorrhoid surgery techniques.

One significant advantage of THD is its high success rate. Studies have shown that THD is an effective treatment option for internal and external hemorrhoids, with success rates ranging from 85% to 95%. The procedure involves using Doppler ultrasound to accurately locate and tie off the blood vessels that supply the hemorrhoids, which effectively shrinks them.

Another advantage of THD is its minimal pain and discomfort compared to a traditional hemorrhoidectomy. THD is performed under local anesthesia, which means patients are awake but do not feel any pain during the procedure. After the procedure, most patients experience only mild discomfort and can resume normal activities within a few days.

THD also offers a shorter recovery time compared to other hemorrhoid surgery techniques. Because it is a minimally invasive procedure, THD does not require incisions or sutures, which means minimal bleeding and swelling. As a result, most patients can return to work within a week after the procedure.

In addition, THD has a lower risk of complications than traditional hemorrhoidectomy. Since THD is a minimally invasive procedure, there is less risk of infection, bleeding, and other complications. This makes THD a safer option for patients who may not be good candidates for traditional hemorrhoidectomy due to underlying health conditions.

Overall, transanal hemorrhoidal dearterilization is a safe and effective treatment option for hemorrhoids. It offers several advantages over other hemorrhoid surgery techniques, including a high success rate, minimal pain and discomfort, shorter recovery time, and lower risk of complications. If you suffer from hemorrhoids, talk to your doctor about whether THD may be a good option.
