MEET THE SURGEON
Dr. Alkiviadis Pappas has been a pioneer in Greece since 2009, developing and evolving methods based on the application of the latest generation laser, which treats anal and bowel diseases with the least possible intervention, in order to ensure permanent treatment and – most importantly – without complications. Laser procedures for the treatment of haemorrhoids, coccygeal cysts, anal fissures and anal fistulas are short (lasting only 15 minutes) and painless. They do not require hospitalization and allow the patient to return to full normal activities the very next day.
