The surgery method varies depending on the stage, location and multiplicity of hemorrhoids.
 Laser hemorrhoid surgery is generally a preferred surgical method for stage 1 and 2 hemorrhoids. During this surgery, the inside of the anus is viewed with an anoscope. Hemorrhoids are detected and the laser needle is pushed towards the root of the hemorrhoid nozzles. In this way, hemorrhoid nozzles are ensured to disappear.This procedure is the less invasive type of hemorrhoid surgery.
 The ligasure stitchless surgery method is performed with a special surgical instrument called ligasure. It is used to treat stage 3 and 4 internal and external hemorrhoids. The device called Ligasure is a sealing device. Thus, hemorrhoids are sealed. In this method, bleeding is minimal and there is no need for stitches.
 Hemorrhoidal artery ligation is the most preferred method. It is applied for 1st stage,2nd stage, 3rd stage and stage 4 hemorrhoids. In this surgery, a special medical device is used to reduce blood flow to the blood vessels in the anal area. Then, the vessels feeding the hemorrhoids are connected using a method called ligation. Hemorrhoids that cannot be nourished begin to shrink and symptoms improve.

In this surgery, circular tissue excision is performed 4 to 5 cm above the anal entrance. In this way, the sagging hemorrhoid tissue is pulled up. In this method, since the integrity of the vessels feeding hemorrhoids is disrupted, internal and external hemorrhoids begin to shrink over time.
