How Infrared Coagulation (IRC) is performed
Infrared coagulation (IRC) uses infrared energy to act on the mucosa and its underlying layer for a short time, reducing blood supply to the target tissue and gradually causing fibrosis and fixation. The procedure is performed under the guidance of an anoscope, with coagulation applied at points, and completed in stages if necessary. Postoperative attention is paid to pain and bleeding, and signs of infection are monitored, with the aim of reducing hematochezia and discomfort during defecation. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
