Painless RAFAELO treatment launched

Metro India News | Hyderabad 

Apollo Hospitals, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad has introduced the RAFAELO procedure, a painless and minimally invasive treatment for haemorrhoids, marking a significant advancement in colorectal care in the city. The new technique offers relief to patients who often delay treatment due to fear of pain, surgery, and long recovery associated with conventional methods.

Haemorrhoids, caused by swollen veins in the lower rectum and anus, affect people across age groups but are frequently ignored because of stigma and embarrassment. Many patients suffer silently for months or years, seeking medical help only when symptoms worsen into severe pain, bleeding, or prolapse.

The RAFAELO procedure is being described as a game-changer. Unlike traditional surgery, it does not involve cuts, open wounds, or prolonged hospital stay. Using advanced energy-based technology, the procedure precisely targets haemorrhoidal tissue while preserving surrounding healthy structures. As a result, patients experience minimal or no pain, negligible bleeding, and faster recovery.

A key advantage of RAFAELO is convenience. The treatment is clinic-based, allowing patients to return home the same day and resume normal activities, including work, as early as the next day.

Dr Asif Mehraj, Consultant Colorectal Surgeon at Apollo Hospitals, Jubilee Hills, said the procedure enables effective treatment without pain or disruption to daily routine, significantly improving patient comfort and quality of life.

Doctors advise early consultation for symptoms such as bleeding during bowel movements, persistent pain, prolapse, or discomfort. Apollo Hospitals stated that the introduction of RAFAELO reinforces its commitment to patient-centric, advanced medical care.
