The non invasive treatment of hemorrhoidal disease has the best indications for I and II degree symptomatic piles and only in few cases of III and IV degree. Authors report their practice with infra-red-coagulation, cryosurgery and laster surgery, discussing indications, controindications and describing in detail their technique. About laser surgery they emphasize that this procedure is a formal hemorrhoidectomy, and laser acts as a scissor or a blaude.
