A few typical hemroid surgeries include:
Rubber Band Ligation - In this procedure, the hemorrhoid is cut off from its blood supply by a rubber band, suffocating it and making it die off.
Stapled Hemorrhoidectomy - If you have a prolapsed hemorrhoid, this will be used. In this procedure, the hemorrhoid is stapled to prevent blood flow, and removed like the rubber band ligation; this is a lot less painful than a hemorrhoidectomy.
Hemorrhoidectomy - This is reserved for the most drastic and immediate cases, as it can hurt a lot and you'll be off your feet for awhile; the hemroid is surgically removed.
Laser Or Infrared - The hemorrhoid is cut off using a laser. With the advent of infrared, fewer doctors use lasers for this type of surgery anymore, as infrared is a lot safer.
