Imphal, May 22 2025: BABINA Hospital has announced the installation of a high-frequency multi-purpose laser system, a significant advancement in surgical care that is now available for patients in Manipur.

As per a release issued by BABINA Hospital, the newly installed laser offers safer, minimally invasive procedures with improved outcomes and faster recovery times.

Unlike conventional surgical tools, this high-frequency laser reduces bleeding, minimizes tissue damage, and ensures precise targeting.

Its advanced technology allows better absorption in water-rich tissues, resulting in fewer complications and no adverse impact on blood components.

The laser can be applied across multiple surgical disciplines, including treatment of varicose veins, piles and ano-rectal fistulas, as well as procedures such as vaginoplasty, cyst removal, adhesiolysis and spinal disc decompression, among others.

Dr Sidartha Lukram, MCh (CTVS), Endo-Vascular Surgeon at BABINA Hospital, said, "This laser system represents a major technological upgrade in surgical care.

To the best of my knowledge, this is the first of its kind installed in Manipur.

It supports a wide range of procedures with greater safety and fewer side effects, which translates into better patient experiences".

The introduction of this advanced laser is expected to significantly improve patient comfort, shorten hospital stays, and reduce postoperative complications.

With its minimally invasive nature, patients often return to normal activity sooner than with traditional surgical techniques.

Speaking about the development, Dr Shyamkumar Laishram, Medical Superintendent, BABINA Hospital, said "Introducing this laser system is part of our broader commitment to deliver advanced, safe, and patientcentered care.

We believe such innovations should not be limited to metros but should be made available where they are needed the most".

BABINA Hospital has already begun offering endovascular laser surgeries using this advanced system at affordable rates, ensuring greater access to high-quality surgical care for the public.

The initiative is part of the BABINA Hospital's ongoing commitment to introducing reliable, evidence-based advancements in patient care and improving the availability of modem surgical solutions in the region.
