An argon laser is a device that uses argon gas to produce a channel of light characterized by wavelength absorbed specifically by pigments including hemoglobin and melanin, and moves without damage through other substances such as fluids. Argon laser therapy uses this therapy to treat a number of gastrointestinal situations, a few of which are hemorrhages, dysphagia, mucosal lesions, and strictures. If you are in need of argon laser therapy in Little Rock, AR, our team can help. To find out more about this laser therapy, contact our gastrointestinal physicians at GastroArkansas to schedule an appointment.
What are the benefits of argon laser therapy?
Laser therapies, as a rule, have more precision compared to other methods, with the result being, that the treatment focuses more on the problematic or diseased tissue. Incisions can, therefore, be made more superficially and shallower and cause less ensuing trauma to the tissue. People typically tend to experience a faster recovery from laser surgeries than from more traditional surgery.
Is argon laser therapy safe?
As in any operation, there are risks. Still, due to the focused nature of laser therapy, it is most often considered less of a risk than alternate surgical approaches. A partial list of the associated risks include pain, reaction to anesthesia, bleeding, and infection. Your wellbeing is the primary concern of the GI specialists at GastroArkansas. Discuss with our practice to hear more about the ways we protect your safety while also providing you effective treatment.
How can I prepare for argon laser treatment?
Our Little Rock, AR clinic team will provide you with specific preparation instructions that you should adhere to prior to argon laser therapy. You might be advised to stop the use of specific medications that can increase the risk during surgery. You should also plan for some recovery time and travel after the procedure, as you will still be slightly sedated. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions you might have in reference to the argon laser therapy protocol when you consult with your physician.

This is the friendliest and most refreshing clinic I've ever been in. As soon as you come in you're greeted with a friendly face and smile. When I say everyone was so nice, every visit. Be prepared to be treated like a person and not just a patient or clinic. Love it ladies, may you all be blessed....
Gastro of Arkansas is a good place and we appreciate all they do for us Amanda and the staff in the Bryant Springhill office caring and kind and work hard to get us well and what we need. Dr Johnson has been my doctor for many years and I would recommend them for any problem you have in Gastroenterology.
I seen Amanda Allen, APRN for the first time. She was very nice. I have a history of gastrointestinal issues. She was very thorough and listened to all of my concerns. She set up all of my necessary tests and procedures. I would highly recommend seeing her. She is a great asset for Dr. Nutt.
I have been seeing Dr. Morrison for years. She is a compassionate doctor who sometimes needs a little nudging for necessary care that she considers extreme (in my case, anyway) but I appreciate that. I especially like going to the new location on Cantrell. The patient is greeted promptly and does no have to wait long to be seen by her.
Dr Backstedt is a very pleasant person. He also listens to you. I would recommend him.
