Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (18+) with symptomatic internal hemorrhoidal disease scheduled for laser hemorrhoidoplasty and willing to consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with Grade IV hemorrhoids, acute thrombosed hemorrhoids, or coexisting anorectal conditions may have limited or different benefits.

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.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the study could better define which patients benefit most from laser hemorrhoidoplasty and optimize postoperative care.
How similar studies have gone: Previous reports suggest laser hemorrhoidoplasty is feasible with favorable short-term outcomes, but robust comparative data are limited.
