    Area of Science:

    • Proctology
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery
    • Laser Surgery

    Context:

    • Ambulatory surgery centers perform proctological procedures.
    • Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser surgery is a standard technique.
    • Hemorrhoidectomy is a common proctological operation.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the CO2 laser hemorrhoidectomy in ambulatory surgery.
    • To compare CO2 laser hemorrhoidectomy with the Milligan and Morgan technique.
    • To assess the benefits of CO2 laser hemorrhoidectomy regarding surgical simplification, post-operative recovery, and cost-effectiveness.

    Summary:

    • A study of 91 hemorrhoidectomies performed using CO2 laser in ambulatory surgery.
    • The CO2 laser technique simplifies surgery, reduces hospital stays, and allows for a quicker return to work.
    • Complications were infrequent, and excellent results were observed.

    Impact:

    • CO2 laser hemorrhoidectomy provides advantages over traditional methods.
    • Ambulatory CO2 laser hemorrhoidectomy offers a cost-effective solution for treating hemorrhoids.
    • This technique enhances patient recovery and satisfaction in proctological surgery.
