If you’re living with painful hemorrhoids, bleeding during bowel movements, or recurring symptoms after previous treatment, specialist laser treatment may offer a faster recovery with less postoperative discomfort than conventional surgery. At Proctoclinic in Amman, Jordan, Dr. Aref Hammam has performed more than 8,500 laser procedures for patients from around the world, including many from the United States.
Many New York patients also choose treatment in Jordan because appointments are available quickly and treatment costs are often substantially lower than uninsured procedures in the U.S.
— Quick Answer
Patients from New York who are diagnosed with hemorrhoids, anal fissure, anal fistula, or pilonidal sinus can undergo minimally invasive laser treatment at Proctoclinic in Amman, Jordan. Most procedures take 15–20 minutes, patients are discharged the same day, and many international patients return home within three days after treatment, depending on recovery.
Cost Breakdown
All four conditions are treated using minimally invasive laser technology — no large incisions, no overnight hospital stay, same-day discharge.
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins inside or around the anus and rectum. They affect roughly half the population by age 50. Despite being extremely common, many NYC residents delay treatment for months — often years — due to cost, embarrassment, or waiting lists. Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP) resolves the problem in 15–20 minutes with same-day discharge and a ~3-day recovery.
An anal fistula is an abnormal tunnel between the anal canal and the skin near the anus, usually developing after an infection or abscess. It is one of the most undertreated conditions in the US due to misdiagnosis and cost. Proctoclinic is the only clinic in Jordan offering the VAAFT endoscopic system — a vision-guided laser technique that reduces recurrence to under 3%. .
An anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anal canal — commonly described as a sharp pain during bowel movements that can last for hours afterward. Fissures are frequently misdiagnosed as hemorrhoids. At Proctoclinic, fissures can be treated in the same session as hemorrhoids when both are present, at no additional cost.
A pilonidal sinus is a small cyst or tunnel near the tailbone that can become infected and cause significant pain. Traditional surgery leaves an open wound that can take months to heal. Laser treatment at Proctoclinic resolves the condition without open surgery — no large wound, no extended recovery, and same-day discharge.
The Cost Reality
These treatments are typically not covered by insurance in the US. Here is what NYC patients actually pay out of pocket — compared to the all-inclusive cost at Proctoclinic.

$4,000–$8,000
Hospital / facility fee

That is compared to $15,000–$35,000 in New York — for the same laser technique, performed by a specialist with 8,500+ procedures and 15 years of exclusive focus on this field.

The Procedure
Many patients who contact us have already had traditional hemorrhoid surgery or banding procedures elsewhere — and the problem came back. This is not rare. Here is the clinical reason why, and what laser treatment does differently.
Factor
Surgery
Laser LHP
Traditional hemorrhoidectomy removes hemorrhoidal tissue by cutting it out. This creates an open wound that heals over weeks — but the underlying vascular pressure causing the hemorrhoid has not been fully addressed. In many cases, new hemorrhoidal tissue forms over time, and the problem recurs.
Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP) works from within the tissue — using precise thermal energy to close the blood supply feeding the hemorrhoid and cause it to shrink. No tissue is cut. No wound is created. The result is a lower rate of recurrence, particularly in experienced hands.
At Proctoclinic, Dr. Aref Hammam has performed over 8,500 LHP procedures across 15 years using the Eufoton Diode Laser at 1940 nm — the current generation of precision laser technology for this specific procedure. If you have had prior surgery and your condition has returned, a laser evaluation is the right next step.
Cost Breakdown
Six reasons that go beyond cost — and address what most patients actually care about.
💰
The all-inclusive procedure costs $1,200. Your total trip — flights, hotel, treatment — comes to approximately $3,000. That is $12,000–$32,000 less than the equivalent procedure in NYC, without insurance.
⚡
NYC specialist wait times for colorectal surgery can stretch to months. At Proctoclinic, your appointment is confirmed within 24–72 hours of your medical report being reviewed. You are not left waiting in pain.
