Laser Applications in Proctology
Laser technology has become an important tool in modern proctology, offering minimally invasive options for the treatment of hemorrhoids, anal fistulas, and pilonidal sinus. Lumin Fiber provides conical and radial laser fibers tailored to these delicate procedures, helping surgeons achieve precise coagulation and tissue reduction with minimal postoperative discomfort.
Laser hemorrhoidoplasty uses focused laser energy to shrink internal hemorrhoidal tissue from within. Through a small puncture, a conical or bare fiber is introduced into the hemorrhoidal cushion. Controlled laser energy causes coagulation and fibrosis, reducing hemorrhoid size while preserving the surrounding mucosa and sphincter function.
-
Minimally invasive alternative to traditional excisional hemorrhoidectomy
-
Less postoperative pain and faster recovery
-
Small puncture wounds instead of wide excisions
-
Suitable for 2nd to 4th degree hemorrhoids in selected patients
Fistula laser closure is a technique in which a radial laser fiber is inserted into the fistula tract. The fiber is gradually withdrawn while delivering laser energy, causing the tract to collapse and seal from the inside. This approach aims to preserve sphincter function and reduce the risk of incontinence.

Sphincter-sparing technique
-
Targeted energy delivery along the fistula tract
-
Can be combined with internal opening closure techniques
-
Useful for selected simple and complex fistulas
In pilonidal sinus laser therapy, a fiber is advanced into the sinus tract after curettage and cleaning. Laser energy is applied during slow withdrawal, destroying the epithelial lining and promoting closure of the tract. This method often results in reduced wound size and faster patient recovery compared to large open excisions.
Lumin Fiber offers several fiber types suitable for proctologic applications:
-
Conical Fibers – for hemorrhoid coagulation and tissue reduction
-
Radial Fibers – for anal fistula and sinus tract ablation
-
Bare Fibers – for general proctologic laser procedures
Our proctology laser fibers are designed for predictable performance in narrow, sensitive anatomical regions. By combining precise energy delivery with minimally invasive techniques, Lumin Fiber helps surgeons improve patient comfort, shorten hospital stays, and enhance clinical outcomes.
Proctology FAQ
1
Q1: What are the main benefits of laser hemorrhoid treatment?
A1: Laser hemorrhoid treatment can reduce postoperative pain, decrease wound size, and shorten recovery time compared with conventional surgery. It also helps preserve normal anatomical structures.
2
Q2: How does laser fistula treatment protect sphincter function?
A2: In fistula laser closure, the energy is delivered inside the fistula tract without cutting across the sphincter muscle. This reduces the risk of incontinence compared with some traditional fistula operations.
3
Q3: Which fiber types are typically used in proctology?
A3: Conical fibers are often used for hemorrhoid coagulation, radial fibers for fistula tracts, and bare fibers for general tissue ablation or coagulation. Lumin Fiber can provide customized configurations according to device requirements.
