This is a modern, sutureless surgical procedure used to remove hemorrhoids (usually grades III and IV) by using a specialized electrothermal bipolar vessel-sealing device. It significantly reduces postoperative pain, blood loss, and operating time compared to traditional methods.

Key Aspects of LigaSure Hemorrhoidectomy:

  • Reduced Pain & Faster Healing: Due to minimal thermal spread and no need for stitching, pain scores are significantly lower than conventional methods.
  • Reduced Blood Loss: The device seals blood vessels up to 7mm in diameter during excision, lowering operative bleeding.
  • Fast Procedure:
     Surgeries often take 15–20 minutes, with high rates of successful "same-day" discharge.
  • Low Recurrence: It provides low recurrence rates for symptomatic hemorrhoids.

Benefits vs. Conventional Hemorrhoidectomy

  • Operative Time: Significantly shorter.
  • Pain: Less postoperative pain and anal spasms.
  • Complications: Less risk of wound infections, with a lower overall complication rate
