Intra-hemorrhoidal coagulation with 980-nm diode laser reduces postoperative pain, intra-operative bleeding, and administered analgesics with a comparable resolution rate of hemorrhoid symptoms. However, for the patients who experience complications, such as hemorrhoidal thrombosis, the overall pain may be equivalent to or even worse than conventional hemorrhoidectomy.
