Abstract	Abstract-Hemorrhoidal disease, fistula-in-ano, anal fissures, pilonidal sinus disease, and rectal prolapse are examples of anorectal maladies that account for a significant share of surgical caseloads worldwide. Even while traditional surgical procedures are often effective, they are sometimes hampered by considerable postoperative morbidity, slowed wound healing, and possible sphincter function compromise. Coloproctology has recently undergone a paradigm change towards minimally invasive surgery (MIS), with a focus on functional preservation and targeted tissue ablation. This narrative review assesses the current therapeutic arsenal, which includes advanced Ksharasutra-based interventions (IFTAK, MIKST, and MIKKT), video-assisted anal fistula treatment (VAAFT), laser hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP), ligation of the intersphincteric fistula tract (LIFT), and Doppler-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation (DG-HAL). This study summarizes the most recent research on operative principles, clinical reasons, and functional results to demonstrate how contemporary methods reduce tissue damage while optimising patient recovery.
