The strengths of the Rafaelo procedure are, on the one hand, its very low morbidity, i.e. it is a low-pain technique in most cases, with the use of level 2 painkillers for two or three days, after which patients very quickly stop taking their painkillers. So the pain is usually very minor and quite short compared to the Milligan Morgan haemorrhoidectomy. The effectiveness seems to be true, both in the French evaluation and in my personal experience, as we have less than 5% surgical recurrence per year. The second aspect of this technique, which is also very, very interesting and puts it far ahead of the other minimally invasive techniques, is its simplicity and speed. Speed is really a big advantage of the technique because the administration of the product, let’s say, happens in two minutes, two and a half minutes, and the whole procedure takes a maximum of 10 minutes.

The Rafaelo technique completes the panel of operative techniques in relation to haemorrhoidal pathology. I think that we need to know them all, and have them all available. It’s a tool that we need at our disposal to be able to guarantee everyone the right treatment.

There are a few reasons why I would recommend Rafaelo to my patients; the procedure is fast, they have less chance of complications than with other procedures in my opinion, and they can go back to normal fast.
And these 3 main topics are convincing as this is usually what the patient asks; “How long will I be sick?”, “Is it painful?” and “Do I have to skip my work?”
This is what they want to know.

This minimally invasive treatment fills the gap between ligature treatment and surgical resection for haemorrhoidal disease. It is excellently suited to outpatient treatment in the proctological practice. I am particularly enthusiastic about the very low post-operative pain after Rafaelo therapy.

I have good feedback with patients who have little or no pain and can return to work within 3 to 5 days.

I have been working with Rafaelo for four years. Minimally invasive, with few complications and highly effective – from my point of view a highly useful addition in the treatment of haemorrhoids of all stages.

Treating patients with third-degree haemorrhoids with little pain and under local anaesthetic in the daily practice routine – the Rafaelo procedure now offers the possibility of a safe and reliable method!
