Hemorrhoids It is estimated that 50% of Americans will, at some point in their lives, suffer from hemorrhoids.The THD procedure offers a minimally invasive surgical approach to treating the source of the hemorrhoids. And, because there is no surgical removal of tissue, there is minimal post-operative pain. THD (Transanal Hemorrhoidal Dearterialization) is offered as an out patient procedure which gets you back to normal activities quickly. Clinical results have shown that patients who have THD may encounter less pain, less risk of complications, and faster return to activities inside of 4 days.

Using the Latest Technology
Physicians have used the da Vinci System successfully worldwide in approximately 1.5 million various surgical procedures to date. da Vinci is changing the experience of surgery for people around the world.
Instead of a large abdominal incision used in open surgery, da Vinci surgeons make a few small incisions – similar to traditional laparoscopy. da Vinci enables us to operate with enhanced vision, precision, dexterity and control.
The patient benefits include less pain, shorter hospital stay, quicker return of bowel function, quicker return to a normal diet, faster recovery and better cosmetic result.
