How to Prepare for Laser Hemorrhoid Surgery: Expert Tips

Deciding to undergo laser hemorrhoid surgery is a major step toward a pain-free life. Most patients focus solely on "surgery day," but they often overlook a vital aspect: Proper preparation.

Correct preparation facilitates the procedure, reduces anxiety, prevents complications, and significantly accelerates recovery. Because laser treatment is the most modern and safest option available today, preparing for it is much easier than for traditional surgeries—but it still requires specific steps to ensure the best results. In this guide from Hemocure experts, we outline the comprehensive preparation manual.

Why is Laser the Best Option?

Laser treatment has become the primary global choice at our centers (utilizing the Leonardo 1940nm technology) for several reasons:

• Procedure performed without traditional surgery or tissue cutting.

• No need for sutures or surgical stitches.

• Significantly less pain compared to conventional surgery.

• Rapid recovery and discharge from the center on the same day.

Goals of Pre-Laser Preparation

Before the procedure, we work at Hemocure to prepare:

1. The Digestive System: To prevent constipation and prime the intestines.

2. The Anal Area: To reduce inflammation and swelling before intervention.

3. Psychological State: To reduce anxiety and explain the procedure steps transparently.

4. Medical Safety: Through tests and screenings to ensure anesthesia safety.

8 Steps for Ideal Pre-Surgery Preparation

1. Accurate Diagnosis (70% of Success)

Before making a decision, we use the latest diagnostic tools (Proctostation & High-Resolution Anoscopy) to accurately determine the hemorrhoid grade and ensure there are no accompanying fissures or fistulas, which helps in creating the perfect laser plan for your case.

2. Dietary Regulation (48-72 Hours Before)

• Increase Fiber: Eat oats, leafy greens, and fruit to ensure soft stools post-surgery.

• Hydration: Drink 2-3 liters of water daily (water is the primary engine for fiber).

• Avoid Triggers: Reduce fatty and fried foods, and stay away from spicy food and spices to minimize irritation in the area.

3. Constipation Control

If you suffer from chronic constipation, your doctor will prescribe mild laxatives two days before the procedure; because constipation immediately following surgery can cause unwanted pressure on the treated area.

4. Medication Review

You must inform your doctor of all medications you take, especially blood thinners or strong anti-inflammatories, as they may need to be stopped for a specific period under medical supervision.

5. Day of Surgery Prep

• Fasting: Adhere to fasting for 4-6 hours according to your doctor's instructions.

• Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing.

• Enemas: Generally, a major bowel evacuation is not required for laser surgeries; your doctor will inform you if you need a simple at-home procedure on the morning of surgery.

6. What to Expect at the Center

• Anesthesia: Local or simple spinal anesthesia is used, which is very safe.

• Duration: The procedure takes only 10 to 20 minutes.

• Discharge: You can safely return home on the same day.

7. Preparing Your Home for Recovery

Before heading to surgery, make sure you have:

• A comfortable medical seat cushion.

• Soft foods (soups, yogurt, fruits).

• The simple medications and painkillers prescribed by your doctor.

8. The First Bowel Movement Post-Surgery

This day requires total calm. You must avoid "straining" entirely and rely on fluids and fiber to ensure the passage of soft stool that does not disturb the surgical site.

Habits to Avoid Before Surgery

• Excessive smoking (reduction is preferred).

• Eating heavy or fatty meals the night before surgery.

• Sitting for long periods at a desk or in a car.

• Using unknown ointments without consulting Hemocure experts.
