Our colorectal services are specifically dedicated to the expert diagnosis and treatment of hemorrhoids, one of the most common and often discomforting anorectal conditions. We understand the impact hemorrhoids can have on your daily life, and our focus is on providing effective, compassionate care using a range of advanced, proven procedures designed to alleviate pain, reduce swelling, and prevent recurrence. Our goal is to restore your comfort and quality of life with specialized, targeted interventions.

Here’s a breakdown of the advanced procedures we offer:

• Hemorrhoid Banding (Rubber Band Ligation): This is a highly effective, non-surgical office procedure for internal hemorrhoids. A small rubber band is placed around the base of the hemorrhoid, cutting off its blood supply. The hemorrhoid then painlessly shrinks and falls off within a few days to a week. This method is quick, causes minimal discomfort, and allows for a rapid return to daily activities.

• Infrared Coagulation (IRC): IRC is a non-surgical, office-based treatment for small to medium-sized internal hemorrhoids. It uses a brief burst of infrared light to coagulate the blood in the hemorrhoid, causing it to shrink and recede. This precise, controlled heat stops blood flow to the hemorrhoid, leading to its gradual reduction and symptom relief. It’s known for being fast, relatively painless, and requiring no anesthesia.

• THD Treatment (Transanal Hemorrhoidal Dearterialization): THD is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that addresses the root cause of hemorrhoids: the blood flow. Using a specialized proctoscope with a Doppler sensor, the surgeon precisely identifies the arteries supplying blood to the hemorrhoids. These arteries are then ligated (tied off) to reduce blood flow, causing the hemorrhoids to shrink naturally. If prolapse is present, a hemorrhoidopexy (lifting the tissue) is also performed. This procedure is performed without excising (cutting out) tissue, leading to less post-operative pain and a quicker recovery compared to traditional surgery.

• Hemorrhoidectomy: For larger, more severe internal or external hemorrhoids, or those that haven’t responded to other treatments, a hemorrhoidectomy may be recommended. This surgical procedure involves the removal of the hemorrhoidal tissue. While it’s a more invasive option, it is considered the most definitive treatment for long-term relief from significant hemorrhoid symptoms and is performed with precision and care to ensure the best possible outcome.
