Comparing outcomes of laser hemorrhoidoplasty and LigaSure hemorrhoidectomy in grade II-III hemorrhoidal disease: a retrospective analysis.

Laser hemorrhoidoplasty is a minimally invasive technique that can be safely applied in suitable grade II-III patients, offering lower postoperative pain rates, fewer complications, and shorter return to work and normal activity times compared to LigaSure hemorrhoidectomy. However, recurrence rates are still higher for laser hemorrhoidoplasty. Future studies should explore the potential of combining laser hemorrhoidoplasty with other surgical treatments.
