Evaluation of the Effect of Laser Radiation on Microcirculation Parameters in Patients with the Stage III Chronic Hemorrhoids

Introduction. Hemorrhoids are accompanied by impaired microcirculation. Modern treatment methods require  an assessment of the microvasculature. Purpose is to evaluate the efficacy and determine the optimal parameters of laser destruction in patients with stage III hemorrhoids based on microcirculation indicators. Materials and methods. The study included 80 patients: the main group was divided into 3 subgroups of 20 persons each with stage III hemorrhoids, and 20 healthy volunteers (control group). The main group was divided depending on the power of laser destruction. Microcirculation was assessed by laser Doppler flowmetry. Results. The use of laser Doppler flowmetry showed the best results at a power of 8 W. Discussion. The use of laser radiation at a power of 8 W provides faster recovery of microcirculation. Conclusion. Laser destruction of hemorrhoids contributes to the restoration of microcirculation, with the best results achieved at a power of 8 W.
