	Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP)
 
	
	This new operation procedure developed by us was published first  in the 
	December issue 2007 of the scientific German Coloproctology. The 
	Hemorrhoidal tissue is removed by a diode laser. Due to the non touch of the 
	sensitive anal skin, the period after the intervention is poor of pain and 
	compliants.  Especially the complications appearing at the classical 
	operations like anal narrowing or incontinence (stool hold incapacity), do 
	not appear at the Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty. 
	  
	
	The operation is carried out as an outpatient procedure under regional 
	anesthesia. A special preparation except an liquid enema to clean up the 
	bowel ist not necessary. Laboratory results needed for the Anesthesia will 
	be done of course previously. 
	
	During the intervention the hemorrhoidal tissue is cleaned from the inside 
	and the covering skin and mucous membrane layers are not injured. Prolapsing 
	tissue (fall out of the piles) is fixed again to its anatomical 
	position
	
	
	(mucopexy). After 6 weeks the rectum receives its natural 
	construction. 
	
	After the intervention a pressure feeling can originate in the rectum for a 
	short time which relief nevertheless quick by warm sitz baths.. For some 
	days drugs are given and a fiber rich diet is recommended. The everyday life 
	is not affected 
	too much, nevertheless the body should be rested for about 1 
	week. After the operation light secretions and bleedings 
	can appear, but these 
	stop after some time by itself again.
