Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a single-center prospective observational study at Sanliurfa Education and Research Hospital. It will collect preoperative symptoms and hemorrhoid stage, intraoperative details, and postoperative outcomes including pain scores, analgesic use, hospital stay, return to daily activities, and recurrence at 6 months. The goal is to clarify the clinical role of laser hemorrhoidoplasty and to help define which patients are most suitable for this treatment. No extra interventions beyond standard care will be performed, and all data will be used to understand real-world outcomes. Enrollment includes adults with symptomatic internal hemorrhoids scheduled for laser hemorrhoidoplasty.
