Diode lasers are an emerging technology in proctology that have shown promising results in promoting early and pain-free recovery for patients. Diode lasers operate at a wavelength of 980nm and 1470nm, which allows for precise targeting of damaged tissue while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. This makes them particularly effective for the treatment of anorectal problems and pilonidal sinus
One of the main advantages of diode lasers is their ability to promote rapid healing and early recovery. The heat generated by the laser promotes the production of collagen, which helps to strengthen and support the treated tissue. This results in faster healing times and less post-operative pain and discomfort for patients
Overall, the emerging role of diode lasers in proctology offers a promising avenue for the treatment of a range of conditions, including hemorrhoids, fissures and fistulas with reduced pain and faster recovery times.
