Dr. Alkiviadis F. Pappas is a proctologist / Colorectal Surgeon, a specialist in bowel and rectal diseases, with recognized pioneering research work in this field and experience in treating more than 11,000 cases.

From the beginning of his career he turned to the use of the latest generation of lasers for the treatment of bowel and rectal diseases, with the aim of achieving the least possible intervention in this so sensitive area.

Very soon he began to evolve the techniques so that they could be done exclusively by laser application, i.e. without a scalpel and without complications. The techniques he developed radically changed the standards in the treatment of a number of conditions, both in Greece and in Europe.

Thanks to these techniques, the treatment of some conditions that before may have been a torturous affair, is now done exclusively with the use of Laser, painlessly and effectively.

The techniques that Dr. Alkiviadis Pappas developed and developed include the following:

  • Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty (Evolution of the Technique)
  • Peripheral Fistula (Evolution of the FilaC Technique)
  • Coccygeal Cyst (SiLaT Technique Development)
  • Antecubital Itch (Technique development)
  • Anal fissure (Technique development)

Some of these techniques were presented at the 11th Congress of Coloproctology, so that other specialists in anal and bowel diseases can start to apply the use of Laser as the most appropriate method of surgery/treatment.
