Hemorrhoidectomy

Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy

Laser Hemorrhoidopexy

Hemorrhoid surgery, also known as hemorrhoidectomy, is a procedure to remove hemorrhoids, which are swollen and inflamed veins in the rectum and anus. Hemorrhoids can cause discomfort, pain, itching, and bleeding. When conservative treatments like diet changes, topical medications, and lifestyle adjustments fail to relieve symptoms, surgery may be recommended to provide lasting relief.

Types of Hemorrhoid Surgery

There are several surgical options for treating hemorrhoids, each tailored to the severity and location of the hemorrhoids:

Hemorrhoidectomy

Hemorrhoidectomy

This traditional surgery involves removing large external hemorrhoids and prolapsed internal hemorrhoids. It is highly effective but requires a longer recovery period.

Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy

Also known as stapled hemorrhoidectomy, this minimally invasive procedure uses a special stapling device to remove a portion of the hemorrhoidal tissue and reposition the remaining tissue. It typically results in less pain and a quicker recovery compared to a traditional hemorrhoidectomy.

Laser Hemorrhoidopexy

Laser-Hemorrhoidopexy

It typically involves using laser technology to shrink or remove hemorrhoids.)

Hemorrhoid Ligation

Hemorrhoid-Ligation

Also known as rubber band ligation, this procedure involves placing a rubber band around the base of the hemorrhoid to cut off its blood supply, causing it to shrink and fall off. It is commonly used for treating internal hemorrhoids.

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy

This involves injecting a chemical solution into the hemorrhoid to shrink it. It is used for smaller internal hemorrhoids and is less invasive than other surgical options.

Infrared Coagulation

Infrared-Coagulation

This technique uses infrared light to coagulate the blood vessels in the hemorrhoid, causing it to shrink. It is another option for smaller internal hemorrhoids.

Benefits and Risks of Fistula Surgery
  • Effective Symptom Relief
    Hemorrhoid surgery provides long-term relief from pain, bleeding, itching, and discomfort caused by advanced or recurrent hemorrhoids.

    Surgery completely removes large, prolapsed, or thrombosed hemorrhoids that do not respond to medications or non-surgical treatments.
  • Improved Quality of Life
    Patients experience better bowel comfort, improved daily activities, and relief from chronic irritation and swelling.
  • Reduced Risk of Complications
    Timely surgical treatment helps prevent complications such as infection, ulceration, or strangulated hemorrhoids.
  • Postoperative Pain or Discomfort
    Pain during bowel movements is common in the initial recovery period but usually improves with medication and proper care.
  • Bleeding
    Mild bleeding may occur during or after surgery, especially in the early healing phase.
  • Infection
    As with any surgical procedure, there is a small risk of infection at the surgical site.
  • Temporary Difficulty in Bowel Movements
    Some patients may experience constipation or discomfort during defecation while healing.
  • Rare Risk of Recurrence
    Although uncommon, hemorrhoids can recur if contributing factors such as chronic constipation or straining persist.
