Vithas Vitoria Hospital has integrated an innovative, state-of-the-art diode laser, a technology unique to Álava that signifies a major advancement in minimally invasive surgery.

This system allows for the treatment of conditions such as hemorrhoids, fistulas, and sacrococcygeal cysts through more precise and less aggressive procedures. As a minimally invasive technique, it often leads to faster recoveries and less pain compared to traditional methods.
This technology, which is part of the Coloproctology Unit at the Vitoria hospital and is already implemented in other Vithas group centers, has demonstrated high effectiveness due to the diode laser's ability to act directly on affected tissue with great precision, minimizing damage to healthy structures.

"One of the major advancements is the speed of recovery, as many patients can return to normal life in a short period."

Its main benefits include reduced postoperative pain, decreased bleeding, a lower risk of complications, and the possibility of performing outpatient procedures without hospital admission, which promotes a quick and safe recovery.
In addition to its application in proctology, this latest-generation laser has a wide range of uses in other medical specialties. For example, in gynecology, it is used to treat cervical lesions, vaginal atrophy, or condylomas through less invasive techniques, while in dermatology, it allows for the treatment of skin lesions, scars, warts, and skin rejuvenation procedures. It is, therefore, a versatile technology that improves both clinical outcomes and patient experience.
With this addition, Vithas Vitoria Hospital strengthens its position as a leader in healthcare innovation in Álava, bringing advanced technologies to patients that were previously unavailable in the region.
