Norvic International Hospital starts laser in proctology treatment

KATHMANDU: Norvic International Hospital based in Thapathali, Kathmandu has started using lasers in the treatment of proctology such as piles, fissures and fistulas. With this laser technology in place, now the compulsion to have incision surgery has come to an end. A team of doctors at the hospital's General and Gastrointestinal Department including surgeon Dr Prakash Chaudhary and Dr Sanjaya Poudyal started laser in the treatment of proctology. Dr Chaudhary informed that a 38-year-old patient from Dhangadhi, who was admitted to the hospital three days ago, was successfully treated with laser technology for very old piles.

"Previously, we used to treat the complicated problems of piles, fissures and fistulas through open surgery," Dr Chaudhary said and added, 'With the help of new technology and devices, the clots of blood in the anus are dried by flowing energy from the laser. The laser device emits energy and after drying and shrinking the tumor, it becomes normal." When treated with this state-of-the-art technology, the patient does not have to stay in a hospital for many days. "In the treatment with laser in proctology, there is no need to cut, as a result, the scar becomes invisible and blood also flows very little," Chaudhary said. According to him, a patient is discharged from the hospital within three to four hours after treatment with laser technology. "This technique is also cost-effective." In addition, there is no need to visit the doctor for follow-up. According to gastrointestinal surgeon Chaudhary, 'laser in proctology' is a new treatment method and technology for Nepal. He has got special clinical training in laser proctology in India. The medical science related to anus and rectum is called proctology. when people having problems like piles, fissures, fistulas do not receive treatment in time, major surgery may be required. However, now, as Norvic Hospital has started laser technology, it can be cured easily. Doctors at the Norvic International Hospital suggest that one should be careful when there are problems such as bleeding in the anus and rectum, and developing lump of flesh. READ ALSO:
