A modern, increasingly popular method
Laser hemorrhoid removal is an innovative treatment method increasingly chosen by patients, which combines effectiveness with maximum comfort. Thanks to the precise action of the laser, it is possible to get rid of the problem quickly and minimally invasively - no cutting, no stitches, no hospitalization. The procedure takes only 15-30 minutes, and most patients return to normal life the very next day. This is an excellent alternative to classic surgical methods and gumming (Barron's method).
What is a pilonidal cyst?
A pilonidal cyst is a small cavity located under the skin, most commonly in the area of the buttock crease, which develops as a result of hairs growing into the skin. Over time, fluid can accumulate inside the cyst, which may lead to inflammation, abscess formation, or the development of a fistula. The condition is more common in young individuals, men, and people with a sedentary lifestyle.
Symptoms of a pilonidal cyst
1 / pain and swelling in the tailbone area
2 / redness of the skin
3 / purulent or bloody discharge
4 / difficulty sitting, walking, or sleeping
5 / recurrent infections in the same area
If any of the above symptoms occur, it is advisable to consult a proctology specialist as soon as possible.
Treatment of pilonidal cysts at Vena Clinic
At Vena Clinic, we use modern, minimally invasive methods for treating pilonidal cysts, tailored to the severity of the condition.
Depending on the case, the doctor may recommend:
-
cleansing the cyst and draining the abscess,
-
laser treatment of the pilonidal cyst,
-
removal of the cyst while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible,
-
closure of fistula tracts with a laser.
Our goal is not only to remove the lesion but also to minimize the risk of recurrence and ensure the fastest possible return to the patient’s daily activities.
How long does the treatment last?
The procedure takes from 15 to 30 minutes. The entire stay at the clinic (with rest after the procedure) usually takes about 1-1.5 hours.
Do I have to stay in the hospital?
No. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis - you go home the same day.
When can I return to work?
Most patients return to work and daily duties after just 1-3 days. If you do physical labor, we recommend a little more rest.
Can hemorrhoids return after treatment?
The risk of recurrence after laser treatment is much lower than after traditional methods, but it is impossible to exclude it completely. Lifestyle changes (diet, regular bowel movements, avoiding long sitting) are also key. Sometimes two sessions of treatments are required.
Is laser treatment of hemorrhoids suitable for all patients?
It is most commonly used for stage I-III hemorrhoids. The final decision is made by the doctor after consultation and examination.
Is the laser safe?
Yes. The procedure is performed by experienced specialists using certified equipment. The risk of complications is minimal.
