Biological Impendence Electrical auto-measurement (BEIM) is the most modern and advanced treatment for piles. In fact, BEIM technology has revolutionized piles surgery. This is a patent technology of BEIM in which tissue becomes dry and hard even without causing any kind of carbonization. In this process, a BEIM pincer is used to measure the length of the piles automatically. Once the pincer measures the length of the piles it can also act as a sealing machine for sealing the base of the pile. When the areas of the piles are sealed it becomes dry and hard. All the veins, nerve fibers, tissues, and arteries get sealed together and act as one entity of tissue fusion. Hence, the tissues grow from inside and the area of the piles that becomes hard and dry takes off itself when the tissue heals up.
Advantages of BEIM Technology
There are several advantages of BEIM technology as compared to that of the traditional methods and some of the advantages are listed as follows:
- This technology involves no bleeding, no wound and there is also no risk of infection as well. Hence, there is no need for the patient to get admitted or stay in the hospital after the surgery rather they can be discharged soon after the treatment.
- The patient feels less pain as compared to the traditional methods of bleeding piles surgery as the nerve in the area of the piles gets sealed in the tissue fusion.
- With the help of this technology, it has now become possible to cure multiple and ring-mixed piles at a time.
- Anal stenosis is generally not seen in the patient after the treatment is completed.
While most of India is still dependent on time-consuming traditional surgical procedures for piles surgery, Atharv Hospital in Pune has been successfully applying this state-of-the-art procedure for piles surgery. It’s an amazing development in medical science. Patients get back to normal lifestyles within a few hours.
What type of patient should go for BEIM treatment?
In BEIM treatment, a fine energy beam is used to remove all the tissues that remain in the surrounding area of the piles. This treatment is considered to be perfect for the Grade II to Grade IV patient. The characteristics of such piles patients, when BEIM treatment becomes necessary, are given as follows:
- Grade II: This is the condition when the piles of the patient exit the anus at the time of bowel movement but it get to its initial position after the stool is passed. In this condition patient can go for BEIM treatment.
- Grade III:In this condition, the piles exit the anus during the bowel movement and they do not get to their initial position until and unless manual pushing is given. Such a condition is also ideal for BEIM treatment.
- Grade IV: This is the most severe condition of the piles in which the piles prolapsed consistently and cannot be retracted manually. This condition causes excessive pain and discomfort to the patient. If the patient is in this stage they should immediately go for BEIM treatment for getting relief immediately.
BEIM technology is a safe and safer option for the treatment of the piles. It requires minimal time and offers faster recovery. Apart from that, unlike the traditional way of treatment, it has certainly reduced the risk of complications after the treatment. A feeble pain remains for a few hours after the surgery but that can be controlled with painkillers. The patients can start drinking right after the procedure and eating in an hour. They can get up and walk within a few hours. What can be more advantageous than BEIM technology in piles surgery?
