Coloproctology and Specialized Procedures
The practice specializes in minimally invasive and laser-based treatments for anorectal conditions. These methods preserve function while reducing pain during recovery. The clinic treats several conditions:
- Hemorrhoid disease managed with CO₂ laser, band ligation, or conventional surgery
- Anal fistulas treated via the FiLaC laser method
- Anal fissures and pilonidal cysts
- Anal condylomas related to HPV
Laser technology is the primary tool for these procedures. The CO₂ laser allows precise tissue management, so patients recover faster. The clinic also offers medical management for patients who do not need immediate surgery.
Diagnostic Services and Technology
Accurate diagnosis is the first step in treatment. Specialists use several methods to detect tumors, polyps, or inflammation:
- Colonoscopy for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes
- Sigmoidoscopy to evaluate the lower colon
- Anoscopy for direct evaluation of the anal canal
- Proctological examinations including rectal palpation
For pediatric patients, the clinic offers specific diagnostic investigations. These include bronchoscopy, captopril renograms, and parathyroid scans. CT head scans and full blood pictures are also available for health screening.
