Argon lasers are devices that use argon gas to emit a channel of light with a wavelength absorbed specifically by pigments such as melanin and hemoglobin, and that pass harmlessly through many other materials such as fluids. Argon laser therapy applies this technology to help heal many gastrointestinal conditions, a few of which are dysphagia, mucosal lesions, hemorrhages, and strictures. If you are looking into argon laser therapy in Indianapolis, IN, our team can help.

What are the benefits of argon laser therapy?
Laser therapies, as a rule, provide greater precision in comparison to alternative methods, meaning that the approach better targets the problematic or diseased tissue. Incisions can be made smaller and more superficially and create less ensuing trauma to the tissue. Patients generally tend to recover more quickly following laser surgeries than from traditional surgery.
Is argon laser therapy safe?
As with any surgery, there are risks. However, due to the extreme precision of laser therapy, it is typically thought to be a lower risk than alternate surgical techniques. Some of the possible risks include reaction to anesthesia, bleeding, infection, and pain. Your wellbeing is extremely important to the gastrointestinal physicians at Indianapolis Gastroenterology and Hepatology.

The doctors, nurses and all other staff (medical assistants, technicians, on my case are courteous, professional and friendly. They patiently answer all my questions, including those that I wasn’t sure to ask for fear of appearing dumb. I’ve been going there over 10 years including a VERY easy transfer to a new (to me) doctor when mine retired. I’ve had three colonoscopies and four endoscopies, all done by the same staff. With all these procedures, I have never had a problem.
Dr Haynes was very thorough before and after my procedure explaining everything to me. His bedside manner was fabulous!
Appt and process from registration to discharge was seamless! I had a fantastic experience! Thank you, Dr Vincent and your whole team 😊
