The superior hemorrhoidal arteries were engorged with blood, the hemorrhoidal venous plexus wouldenlarge. . Heamorrhoids can be categorized as internal, external, or mixed, depending on their location inthe anal canal relative to the dentate line. The dentate line, also known as the anorectal junction, is the siteof internal heaorrhoid.Internal heamorrhoids. They are thereafter categorized into four stages according to their severity anddegree of prolapse.Grade I: Absence of prolapse, increased venous presence.Grade II: Prolapse occurs under stress and resolves spontaneously.Grade III: Prolapse occurs and requires physical assistance.Grade IV: Extremely elevated risk of prolapse and irreducibility.External heamorrhoids are found in anal canal, below the dentate line (1,2).The laser (LH ) procedure is an innovative outpatient treatment for hemorrhoids that ceases bloodsupply to the hemorrhoidal plexus through by coagulation of the hemorrhoid pedicle. Consequently, theprolapsed hemorrhoidal veins diminish without causing discomfort. This treatment enhances postoperativerecovery, reduces operating room duration, minimizes intraoperative blood loss, and subsequent pain.Men exhibit a higher propensity than women for prevalent symptoms such as rectal bleeding, analpruritus, pain, anal irritation, thrombosis, and a prolapsed mass.The primary concept of LH involves utilizing a diode laser a 980 nm beneath the skin to assess theextent of reduction in the hemorrhoidal vascular convolute. This study sought to record our experience forhemorrhoidal laser ablation on 200 symptomatic grade II, III, and IV, at three medical centers in Thi-QarCity from 2022 to 2024, to evaluating the efficacy and safety of this novel technique
