This single-center prospective observational study aims to evaluate clinical outcomes, postoperative pain scores, complications, and patient satisfaction in adults undergoing laser hemorrhoidoplasty for symptomatic internal hemorrhoidal disease. Additional objectives are to assess the relationship between hemorrhoid stage, dominant presenting symptoms, operative technical details, and postoperative outcomes. No study-specific intervention beyond routine clinical care and follow-up will be performed.

Hemorrhoidal disease is a common benign anorectal condition that can significantly impair quality of life. Conventional excisional techniques may be associated with postoperative pain, bleeding, prolonged recovery, and lower patient satisfaction. Laser hemorrhoidoplasty is a minimally invasive technique based on coagulation and shrinkage of hemorrhoidal tissue without excision. This prospective observational study will be conducted at the General Surgery Clinic of Sanliurfa Education and Research Hospital. Adult patients with symptomatic internal hemorrhoidal disease who are scheduled to undergo laser hemorrhoidoplasty will be enrolled. Preoperative symptoms, hemorrhoid stage, and physical examination findings will be recorded. Intraoperative data will include laser wavelength, total delivered energy, number of hemorrhoidal packages treated, and any additional surgical procedures. Postoperative pain will be assessed at predefined time points using the Visual Analog Scale. Analgesic requirement and duration, length of hospital stay, time to return to daily activities, early complications within 30 days, late complications, symptom status, and recurrence at 6 months will be documented. The study is designed to clarify the clinical role of laser hemorrhoidoplasty and help define appropriate patient selection criteria.

Individual participant data will not be shared because this is a single-center study involving sensitive patient-level clinical data, and there is no pre-specified institutional mechanism for external data sharing. Only aggregated, de-identified study results will be reported.
