Speacialities No Pian Immediate relief from the surgery After Operation No Need to Stay in Hospital Minimal Post Operative Care Economical Cold treatment - Cryosurgery for piles or Cryo-Hemorrhoidectomy

There has been a long search for the best method of treatment for hemorrhoids/piles. In an operating room, pain is an uninvited guest, thanks mostly to anesthetics. Anathesia does not however prevent post operative soreness which can last for days or weeks, this lengthens the stay at the hospital, raises cost, and heighten the risk that fear will cause an individual to postpone needed surgery.
