Global Hospitals in Parel, Mumbai organized a one-day Rafaelo workshop specifically educating participating surgeons about the most current treatments for hemorrhoids or piles with the presence of renowned international expert from Germany Dr Carlo Vivaldi, a pioneer in radiofrequency treatment. The conference was attended by approximately 50 Surgeons, providing them with opportunities to participate in interactive and informative sessions designed to improve their ability to effectively treat Hemorrhoids.

Piles, also known as hemorrhoids, is a common problem in India. In contrast, it may seem like a minor issue, but the complications of piles can be severe and debilitating. One of the most common complications is bleeding, which can lead to anemia if left untreated. Additionally, the constant discomfort and pain associated with piles can significantly impact a person’s quality of life and mental well-being.  Another complication that often arises is thrombosis, where blood clots form within the swollen veins of the rectum.  In some cases, untreated piles can lead to prolapse, where the swollen veins protrude outside the anus and cannot be pushed back in. This condition requires immediate medical attention and may even necessitate surgical intervention.  It’s crucial for individuals suffering from piles to seek proper medical care to avoid these potentially serious complications.

“This CME was designed to educate approximately 50 surgeons on the application of radiofrequency treatment for piles. In addition, participants took part in sessions featuring 4 live case studies and stimulating discussions led by renowned international expert Dr Carlo Vivaldi, a pioneer in radiofrequency treatment which is a game-changer for piles patients.  It is a minimally invasive and highly effective solution to their discomfort. Unlike traditional surgical procedures, radiofrequency treatment targets the swollen veins in the rectum using electromagnetic waves, causing them to shrink and eventually disappear. This innovative approach not only provides quick relief from symptoms such as bleeding and pain but also reduces the risk of complications associated with more invasive treatments,” said Dr  Jignesh Gandhi, senior Consultant, Laparoscopic and Robotic Surgery, Global Hospitals, Parel

Dr Gandhi added, “The benefit of the treatment is that it can be done under sedation and local anesthesia and is a daycare procedure. There is no cutting, stitching, or stapling, during this procedure, and is free from suffering from any infections.  With its proven efficacy and minimal invasiveness, radiofrequency treatment is undoubtedly revolutionizing the way we address piles, offering hope and comfort to those grappling with this often debilitating condition.  This event gave attendees practical skills relevant to their daily patient care for individuals with piles.”

“This initiative brings hope and relief to those enduring the excruciating pain and discomfort associated with this condition. With advanced medical techniques and tailored treatment plans, patients can finally look forward to significantly improving their quality of life.  By providing comprehensive care and support, the hospital’s CME program aims to empower patients with knowledge about managing their condition effectively, fostering a sense of control,” concluded Dr Vivek Talaulikar, COO IHH Healthcare India.
