Procedures & Treatments

Laser surgery is significantly less painful than traditional methods. The procedure is done under anesthesia, and patients typically experience minimal discomfort. Most patients go home the same day and return to normal activities within 2-3 days.

Recovery varies by procedure. Laser piles surgery: 2-3 days. Fissure surgery: 4-6 weeks for complete healing. Fistula surgery: depends on complexity. Laparoscopic hernia repair: 1-2 weeks. Dr. Krishnani provides specific recovery guidelines for each patient.

With proper surgical technique and lifestyle modifications, recurrence is rare (less than 5%). We provide guidance on diet, hydration, and habits to prevent recurrence.

Laser surgery uses precise laser energy to shrink hemorrhoidal tissue — meaning no cuts, no stitches, minimal pain, and same-day discharge. Traditional surgery involves excision with longer recovery, more pain, and higher chances of complications.

Acute fissures (less than 6 weeks old) often heal with conservative treatment — sitz baths, dietary changes, and topical medications. Chronic fissures that don't respond to medication may require surgical intervention to break the pain-spasm cycle.

Laparoscopic hernia repair offers smaller incisions (3 tiny cuts vs one large cut), less pain, faster recovery (1-2 weeks vs 4-6 weeks), minimal scarring, and lower infection risk. It's especially beneficial for bilateral or recurrent hernias.

Diabetic foot care involves wound assessment, infection control, debridement, and prevention of complications. Seek help immediately if you notice cuts/sores that won't heal, numbness, swelling, redness, skin color changes, or foul-smelling discharge from your feet.
