What is laser surgery?

Laser surgery is a type of surgery that uses special light beams instead of instruments for surgical procedures.

How does a laser work?

The functioning of a laser goes back to Albert Einstein's theory of stimulated emission of radiation and includes other theories that help explain local tissue damage. As the light beam hits the skin, the skin may either reflect the light away, scatter the light, absorb the light, or let the light pass right through the different layers of the skin. Each layer of the skin uses the light differently.

Certain parts of the skin, called chromophones, absorb the light. When these chromophones absorb the light, physical, mechanical, chemical, or temperature changes may occur in the tissue.

There are many different types of lasers, including the carbon dioxide laser, the YAG (neodymium, or yttrium aluminum garnet) laser, and the argon laser. Each one works in a different manner and may be used for different treatment options. Laser light can be delivered either continuously or intermittently. The wavelength of the laser determines the target within the skin and the effect it may have.

What types of surgeries use lasers?

There are many indications for the use of lasers in surgery. The following are some of the more common indications:

• To shrink or destroy tumors
• To help prevent blood loss by sealing small blood vessels
• Refractive eye surgery
• Dental procedures
• To treat some skin conditions, including to remove warts, moles, tattoos, birthmarks, acne, scars, wrinkles, and unwanted hair.

Laser hemorrhoidectomy

Hemorrhoid laser procedure (LHP) is a new laser procedure for outpatient treatment of hemorrhoids in which hemorrhoidal arterial flow feeding the hemorrhoidal plexus is stopped by laser coagulation.

Laser ablation

Electrically tunable optical solutions for laser processing provide the highest performance in spot size, stability, repeatability and lifetime, while removing bulky and expensive translational optics and f-theta lenses.

Piles surgery

Piles' or ‘Hemorrhoids’ or 'Piles' are blood vessels within the walls of rectum and anal canal. Piles occurs when these blood vessels swell and the tissue above them gets stretched as a result. This process creates a sac-like structure which gets further strained during our bowel movement, thereby causing pain and discomfort.

Varicose vein

Varicose veins are also known as varicosities or varicose. It usually develops when your veins become dilated, enlarged as well as excessively filled with blood. This condition is quite common, especially in women. Homeopathy treatment effectively works on varicose veins and provides pain relief.
