Abstract
Laser is an effective, simple and harmless clinical procedure used for the treatment of hemorrhoids, as an alternative to medical therapy or surgery. In this report, we describe our experience of applying carbon dioxide laser to hemorrhoids in a total 1816 consecutive patients. The results lead us to conclude that the laser treatment of hemorrhoids is effective in pain alleviation from the first session and that patients so treated have a much more comfortable postoperative course.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
