Haemorrhoid therapy in Turkey covers options like laser haemorrhoidoplasty, rubber band ligation, and Doppler-guided artery ligation. Specialists at JCI-accredited centres in Istanbul and Antalya use minimally invasive techniques. They treat various grades, often resulting in quicker recovery and less discomfort than traditional surgery.
- Laser haemorrhoidoplasty: Shrinks tissue using a precise diode laser via tiny incisions.
- Artery ligation (THD): Uses ultrasound to locate and block blood supply to haemorrhoids.
- Stapled haemorrhoidopexy: Repositions prolapsed tissue using mechanical staplers to cut blood flow.
- Rubber band ligation: Cuts off blood supply using elastic bands for internal cases.
- Ligasure technology: Employs bipolar energy to seal and remove tissue without requiring stitches.
Bookimed Expert Insight: While many centres offer surgical excision, specialised proctology clinics like Avrupa Cerrahi Proctology Center focus almost exclusively on non-surgical alternatives. Dr Yasir Gozu there performs over 1,700 cases annually. This is far higher than most general surgeons. This high volume often translates to smoother procedures for patients with chronic issues.
Patient Consensus: Patients often mention how helpful clear pain control plans and recovery timelines are. Many travelling to Turkey found that choosing procedures like THD or laser helped them manage logistics easily.
