The choice of procedure for external hemorrhoid treatment is related to the patient’s condition and there is no such thing as which procedure is better. However, the two surgical methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. 1. Minimally invasive surgery: the main advantage of this procedure is that it is less traumatic, less painful, and the recovery period is relatively shorter; however, the disadvantages of this procedure are that it is easy to narrow the anus after the operation, bleeding and other complications, and the operation cost is relatively expensive. 2. Laser surgery: the advantages of this procedure mainly lie in the higher accuracy, relatively shorter operation time, and the patient’s pain is small; the disadvantage is that the healing period of the incision is also relatively long. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with external hemorrhoids, once diagnosed, should go to the hospital in time if accompanied by obvious perianal discomfort and choose the appropriate treatment plan according to their condition under the guidance of a professional doctor.
