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. For additional information about this laser therapy, contact our gastrointestinal specialists at Indianapolis Gastroenterology and Hepatology to schedule an appointment.
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. Discuss with our team to hear more regarding the ways we protect your safety while providing you with effective treatment.

I’ve been going to Dr Haynes for probably about 8 years now. He’s so kind, compassionate, great bedside manner, & truly cares about his patients. He’s helped me so much. I have a ton of respect for him. He stays current in studies & procedures, etc out there for his patients’ conditions. He takes his time with you & is very thorough. I can’t say enough good things about him. Beyond pleased with the care he’s given to me. A huge blessing!
Dr. Robert’s is an excellent physician and Is very knowledgeable about the risks and benefits of screening procedures in my case as an elderly patient. I appreciate his care and would refer all patients to this doctor in need of GI diagnoses.
Dr crane is one of the best gastro Drs I have ever seen
Dr. Drake is a wonderful and kind doctor. He really took the time to listen to me. He also takes the time to answer any questions and explain things. I was a bit nervous before endoscopy but he put me at ease.
I was very pleased with my appointment. Ive been to 3 GI specialist with no help but being thrown on medicines. Dr. Crane listened and explained things with care. Most importantly what was needed was testing to be done on my condition that Ive had since 2016. He made me feel like theres hope for my health issue.
