The LASER was rst invented in the year 1960 by Theodore H Maiman. The term “laser” originated as an acronym for “Light Amplication by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Since that time application of laser has extended into different elds like engineering, medicine, weaponry etc. Laser is used in the treatment of various diseases like retina problems, kidney stone, cosmetic surgery, gastrointestinal surgery.
The use of Laser has extended in the treatment of piles, ssure, and stula in recent times. The type of laser that is used for this purpose is Diode Laser. These three are very common problems. A signicant number of the population is suffering from these problems.
The conventional surgery is associated with blood loss, pain 
and hospital stay along with dressing at home for prolonged periods that leads to loss of work time. So many people avoid surgery and opt for alternate medicine and suffer in silence. LASER has changed the total outcome. The treatment has become less painful, with minimal blood loss. It’s a daycare procedure, that means the patient gets discharged on the same day. Recovery period is also very short and the patient can attend their work place within a short period . Thus this method of treatment for piles, ssure and stula is patient friendly and also economical.
