The four surgeries were performed back to back within two hours at American Oncology Institute, Babina Multispecialty Hospital, Imphal without charging the patients any fees for the surgery or hospitalization.

After completing four surgeries, Dr Kalyan Kar said that Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP) was performed on two laser hemorrhoid cases-one a third-degree, and the other, a second-degree, without losing a single drop of blood.

He also said there were no external surgical wounds, and both procedures were clean surgeries.

The other two were fistula patients, one having a fistula with an abscess, where the abscess was drained first and the fistula treated thereafter, he said.

He further said the second fistula patient had a very complex fistula and was treated using the laser technique.

Dr Thangjam Dhabali, Chairman and Managing Director, Babina Group, added that laser-based technology is the best option for treating patients with piles, fistula and fissure.

On the occasion, Ajay Chanam, founder of Cerulean MediVital, noted that enhancing the adoption of laser technology in proctology (medical specialty focused on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the colon, rectum, and anus) will ultimately benefit patients who will have an option for a safer and less painful surgical treatment.

Prof N Somorjit Singh, Chairman of ASI Manipur State Chapter, expressed satisfaction over the successful conduct of the first-ever Laser Proctology CME and Live Surgery Workshop in Manipur.

He stated that the programme was organised to equip young surgeons with the latest knowledge and practical skills in laser proctology through expert lectures and live surgical demonstrations.
