Apollo Spectra Hospitals Introduces Revolutionary Rafaelo Procedure for Piles Treatment
Chennai: Apollo Spectra Hospitals in Chennai has launched the Rafaelo Procedure, a cutting-edge, minimally invasive radiofrequency therapy for haemorrhoids. This advanced treatment offers precise delivery, quick recovery, and minimal discomfort.
The Rafaelo Procedure is a game-changer in proctology, offering relief with confidence and safety. It is a 30-minute treatment that utilizes a specialized probe to deliver controlled radiofrequency energy to haemorrhoidal tissue, causing coagulation, dehydration, and contraction of the haemorrhoidal cushions. This approach symptomatically treats the condition without annihilating intervening healthy tissue, allowing for same-day discharge.
The Rafaelo Procedure offers several benefits over conventional hemorrhoidectomy. It is a minimally invasive procedure that preserves the surrounding anatomy, minimizing trauma and greatly accelerating healing. Patients experience faster recovery, minimal discomfort, and excellent outcomes with minimal or no chances of relapse. Most patients can resume desk work in 24-48 hours and short travel within a couple of days, with strenuous activity to be avoided for 3 weeks.
Dr. Vani Vijay, Senior Consultant, GI – Minimally Invasive & Robotic Surgery, Apollo Spectra Hospital, Chennai, says, “The Rafaelo Procedure marks a significant advancement in the treatment of haemorrhoids. With its minimally invasive radiofrequency technology, patients experience faster recovery, minimal discomfort, and excellent outcomes with minimal or no chances of relapse.”
The launch event was graced by the presence of renowned actress Parvathy Nair, who emphasized the importance of preventive healthcare and prioritizing fitness. She said, “It is heartening to see Apollo’s relentless pursuit of healthcare excellence through investments in future-ready medical technology. Let’s continue to make fitness a priority in our lives—not just through exercise, but by being proactive about our health choices.”
Apollo Spectra Hospitals is committed to delivering the latest advancements and cutting-edge innovations in surgical care. The hospital conducts specialist Rafaelo Procedure workshops, providing hands-on training to surgeons and proctologists, reflecting its commitment to facilitating surgical innovation and minimally invasive colorectal care.
