Piles Doctor in Chinchwad — Laser Piles Treatment at Sharvari Hospital, Pimple Nilakh

Who is the piles specialist for Chinchwad patients?

Dr. Kundan Kharde (MBBS · MS (General Surgery)) examines and treats piles at Sharvari Hospital, Pimple Nilakh, about 20 to 30 minutes from Chinchwad station. With 19+ years in general and laparoscopic surgery and 6,000+ Surgeries, he grades the piles himself at the first visit and chooses banding, laser, stapler or excision to fit that grade. Patients are told plainly when no procedure is needed. Results vary between patients.

Which grades of piles need surgery?

Grade is the whole story. Grade 1 bleeds without prolapse — diet, fluids and a stool softener, then a review. Grade 2 comes down on straining and returns by itself — banding in the OPD, laser if bleeding persists. Grade 3 has to be pushed back — laser for selected cases, stapler for circumferential prolapse. Grade 4 stays out — stapler or haemorrhoidectomy. This is the ASCRS clinical practice guideline (2018) position: office procedures for early grades, excision reserved for grade 3–4 or mixed disease.

Chinchwad’s patient mix is older and more industrial than the Hinjawadi belt: long shifts on the MIDC floor, lifting with a held breath, and years of tubes from the chemist near Chapekar Chowk mean many present with grade 3 disease and an external component. In older patients, and in anyone with weight loss or a change in bowel habit, bleeding is examined before it is called piles.

What are the treatment options for piles?

Conservative management: 25–30 g of fibre a day, water, a stool softener when needed, sitz baths, no reading on the toilet; reviewed at 4–6 weeks.

Rubber band ligation: An OPD band for grade 1–2 internal piles — no anaesthesia, no admission, up to three sittings.

Laser haemorrhoidoplasty: A laser fibre shrinks the pile from inside under spinal or short general anaesthesia; usually no cutting or stitches; same-day discharge. For grade 2 and selected grade 3.

Stapler haemorrhoidopexy (MIPH): Lifts and fixes circumferential grade 3–4 prolapse. Less wound pain than open surgery; NICE TA128 notes prolapse returns more often over the years than after haemorrhoidectomy.

Open or LigaSure haemorrhoidectomy: For large mixed piles and skin tags — the hardest recovery and the most durable result. See grade 4 piles treatment.

How do the piles procedures compare?

For orientation before your visit. The row you belong in is set by examination, not by how far you have driven.

Typical ranges, not promises. Recovery depends on grade, number of columns treated, bowel habit and your job. Results vary.

Why cross the Pavana for a piles specialist?

The grade is confirmed by the surgeon: Not by a coordinator, not over the phone. Banding or conservative care is offered when that is what the grade calls for, which is often.

One trip for assessment, one for surgery: Examination, fitness checks and pre-authorisation on the first visit; laser is day-care, so the second trip ends the same evening.

24×7 admission: A thrombosed external pile is best treated within 48–72 hours; the emergency desk is staffed through the night.

Patient from Chinchwadgaon

"Everyone near Chapekar Chowk told me the big hospitals on the highway were the only option. This was a shorter drive across the river, I saw the surgeon and not a coordinator, and the grade was explained before any procedure was mentioned."

What does laser piles surgery cost for Chinchwad patients?

The estimate is itemised in writing before consent — surgeon and anaesthesia fees, consumables, room category and follow-up — and moves with grade, number of columns and technique, so it is given after examination rather than over the phone.

Cashless treatment with 50+ insurers and TPAs; pre-authorisation starts in OPD on the first visit so the surgery trip is not held up. ESIC and corporate group policies from the Chinchwad MIDC employers are common; bring the card. EMI is available for co-pay.

Is laser piles surgery painless?

No, and we do not describe it that way. The procedure is done under spinal or short general anaesthesia, so it is not felt while it happens. For a few days afterwards, soreness and a burning sensation are normal and the first bowel movement is uncomfortable — managed with stool softeners, sitz baths and simple analgesia. Most patients find this milder and shorter than after open surgery. Results vary.
