Surgical technique developed by OGH doctor gets international recognition
A surgical technique developed by Dr. Pallam Praveen, Professor and Head of the Department of General Surgery at Osmania General Hospital (OGH), has gained international recognition after being accepted for publication by the International Journal of Surgery. The procedure, called 'Pallam's Painless Hybrid Laser Sandwich Procedure', offers a minimally invasive, and highly effective treatment for Grade III and Grade IV haemorrhoids. Unlike conventional surgeries that often come with prolonged pain, risk of incontinence, and recurrence, Dr. Praveen's technique reduces post-operative discomfort, eliminates the risk of incontinence, and boasts near-zero recurrence. The key lies in the hybrid use of both conventional and laser surgery benefits, making it a safer and faster alternative. Patients are able to walk out of the hospital on the same day. Over the past four years, Dr. Praveen has performed this procedure on more than 500 patients, achieving consistently positive outcomes, said a release.
