Abstract:
Hemorrhoids are a prevalent condition that significantly impacts the quality of life of affected individuals. Traditional treatment modalities range from conservative management to invasive surgical procedures, each with varying degrees of effectiveness and patient burden. Recently, laser treatment has emerged as a promising alternative, offering a minimally invasive approach with the potential for reduced complications and faster recovery. This comprehensive review aims to evaluate the role of laser treatment in hemorrhoidal management, exploring its mechanisms, clinical outcomes, safety, and economic implications. Through an extensive literature review and analysis of clinical trials, this paper assesses the efficacy of laser therapy compared to conventional treatments, highlighting its advantages in pain reduction, healing times, and patient satisfaction. The review also discusses the different types of lasers, including diode and Nd:YAG, and their specific applications in hemorrhoidal treatment. The findings indicate that laser treatment can be an effective and safe option for patients, encouraging its consideration as part of standard hemorrhoidal care protocols. However, gaps in long-term outcome data and the need for further studies on cost-effectiveness are identified. The review concludes with recommendations for future research, the advancement of laser technology, and the potential integration of laser treatment into clinical practice, aiming to enhance patient outcomes in hemorrhoidal management.
摘要:
痔疮是显著影响受影响个体的生活质量的普遍状况。传统的治疗方式从保守治疗到侵入性外科手术,每个都有不同程度的有效性和患者负担。最近,激光治疗已经成为一种有希望的选择,提供一种微创方法,有可能减少并发症和更快的恢复。这篇综合综述旨在评估激光治疗在痔疮管理中的作用,探索其机制,临床结果,安全,和经济影响。通过广泛的文献回顾和临床试验分析,本文评估了激光治疗与常规治疗相比的疗效,突出其在减轻疼痛方面的优势,愈合时间,患者满意度。该评论还讨论了不同类型的激光器,包括二极管和Nd:YAG,及其在痔疮治疗中的具体应用。研究结果表明,激光治疗对患者来说是一种有效和安全的选择,鼓励将其作为标准痔疮护理方案的一部分。然而,确定了长期结果数据的差距以及对成本效益进行进一步研究的必要性。这篇综述最后提出了对未来研究的建议,激光技术的进步,以及激光治疗可能融入临床实践,旨在提高患者痔疮管理的预后。
