Infra red coagulation
An infra red wand is inserted into the rectum through an anoscope, generally without sedation. A succession of quick burns are made above the hemorrhoid ring over the span of 2-3 minutes.

In electrocoagulation precise burns are made under the direct visualuzation of the colonoscope above the hemorrhoidal ring as the scope is u-turned in the rectum to look back at the hemorrhoids from the inside to out. A soft cautery probe is then used to create the burn which will scar and choke off the feeding blood vessels to the hemorrhoids.There is never any pain with this technique .
