Laser surgery for anal fissures typically uses local anesthesia. This means the area around the anus is numbed, and you can remain awake during the procedure. General anesthesia might be considered in some cases, like complex situations or if you're anxious. Laser surgery is generally less painful than traditional surgery and offers a faster recovery

I'm considering laser surgery for piles but I'm not sure if it's better than the regular surgery Is it more expensive and does it have any major benefits I'm really confused about whether to go for it or not

Laser piles surgery is minimally invasive with less pain and faster recovery but is generally more expensive. Both are effective; the choice depends on severity and personal preference.
