[Improvements of Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy]

During the period from 1994 to 2000 there were investigated and treated 240 patients with hemorrhoids which required the surgical intervention. Depending on the hemorrhoidectomy method all the patients were divided into two groups--the main and the control. The main group was consisted of 128 persons. In this group the hemorrhoidectomy was performed according to the method developed by us with the use of ligation device during removal of internal hemorrhoids. The control group was consisted of 112 persons in whom the hemorrhoidectomy was performed according to conventional methods.
