Materials and Methods: 30 participants were enrolled for study from July 2020 till November 2022 at VMGMC, Solapur a tertiary care centre in west Maharastra. Lastronix machine was used, the parameters used were Diode laser wavelength 980nm, continuous wave, Power 5-15 watt, spot size of the hand piece was 0.4mm. Laser haemmorrhoidectomy was performed under spinal anaesthesia.
Results: It was observed that post operative pain (VAS score) was significantly reduced after 48 hours post operatively. The chi-square statistic is 14.552. The p-value is 0.005726. The result is significant at p<05.
