Our Four Surgical Treatment Options
- Laser Hemorrhoidectomy
This minimally invasive technique uses laser energy to shrink and remove hemorrhoidal tissue with precision. Laser hemorrhoidectomy in Dubai is favored for its reduced post-operative pain, faster recovery time, and minimal bleeding. It’s especially useful for early-to-mid stage internal hemorrhoids and can often be done as a day procedure.
Key benefits:
- Quick recovery
- Minimal discomfort
- Lower risk of complications
- THD – Transanal Hemorrhoidal Dearterialization
THD surgery in Dubai is a non-excisional technique that targets the blood vessels supplying the hemorrhoids. Using a Doppler-guided probe, the surgeon identifies and ties off these arteries, reducing blood flow and causing the hemorrhoids to shrink. THD is particularly suitable for internal hemorrhoids and is associated with less pain and faster return to daily activities.
Key benefits:
- No tissue removal
- Minimal discomfort
- Short downtime
- Sutured Mucopexy
Sutured mucopexy is a tissue-preserving approach where the hemorrhoids are lifted back into their normal position and secured with sutures. It is effective for prolapsing hemorrhoids and is less invasive than traditional surgery. This procedure focuses on repositioning and stabilizing hemorrhoidal tissue, making it suitable for patients who prefer a conservative, recovery-friendly option.
Key benefits:
- Less invasive
- Short procedure time
- Good cosmetic outcomes
- Milligan-Morgan Hemorrhoidectomy
This is the traditional open surgical method for removing large or thrombosed hemorrhoids. It remains the gold standard for advanced or complicated hemorrhoids when less invasive procedures are unlikely to offer sufficient relief. While recovery may take slightly longer, the results are durable and effective for severe cases.
Key benefits:
- Long-lasting results
- Effective for large, painful, or thrombosed hemorrhoids
- Can treat multiple hemorrhoids in one session
Causes and Risk Factors
Gallstones typically form due to an imbalance in the makeup of bile. If bile contains too much cholesterol or bilirubin, or if the gallbladder doesn’t empty properly, solid particles can crystallize and grow into stones.
Key risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing gallbladder stones include:
- Gender and Age: Women (especially during their fertile years and pregnancy) are more prone to gallstones, and the risk for both men and women increases after age 40.
- Obesity and Diet: Being overweight and eating a high-fat, high-cholesterol, low-fiber diet can contribute to stone formation.
- Rapid Weight Loss: Losing a lot of weight quickly (for example, through crash diets or weight loss surgery) can trigger gallstones.
- Medical Conditions: Certain conditions like diabetes, liver disease, and some chronic intestinal diseases or gastro-intestinal surgery are associated with a higher risk of gallstones.
Gallbladder polyps have no well-defined risk factors. They can occur in anyone, sometimes alongside gallstones or in people with high cholesterol. Fortunately, most polyps are incidental findings and not caused by lifestyle.
Individualized Care with a Team of Experts
Not all hemorrhoids require surgery, and we start with conservative treatment whenever possible. This includes dietary guidance (increasing fiber), stool softeners, sitz baths, topical medications, and lifestyle changes. If these measures do not bring relief, or if your condition is advanced, surgery may be the best course.
Each of our surgeons specializes in a specific technique, allowing us to match you with the right expert based on your diagnosis and goals. During your consultation, we will discuss all available options, answer your questions, and help you make an informed decision. We value patient comfort and transparency, and we believe that shared decision-making leads to better outcomes.
Day Surgery and Inpatient Options
Most of our hemorrhoid procedures are performed on an outpatient basis. That means you can return home the same day with a customized aftercare plan. For cases requiring general anesthesia, observation, or enhanced pain management, we offer overnight stay options in collaboration with Emirates Hospital. Our team will handle all coordination, ensuring a seamless experience from consultation to post-operative recovery.
