Stapled hemorrhoidectomy offers shorter operation times, reduced hospital stays, and less pain compared to conventional surgery for prolapsing internal hemorrhoids. Further long-term studies are recommended before widespread adoption.

Area of Science:

  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Surgical Procedures
  • Hemorrhoid Treatment

Background:

  • Prolapsing internal hemorrhoids are a common condition requiring effective treatment.
  • Conventional reconstructive operations have been the standard for hemorrhoid treatment.
  • Stapled hemorrhoidectomy presents a potentially less invasive alternative.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the efficacy and outcomes of stapled hemorrhoidectomy versus conventional reconstructive surgery.
  • To evaluate operative time, hospitalization, postoperative pain, and complication rates.

Main Methods:

  • A comparative study involving 152 patients with hemorrhoids.
  • 72 patients underwent stapled hemorrhoidectomy (Longo technique).
  • 80 patients underwent conventional reconstructive operations (Parks or Fansler-Arnold).

Main Results:

  • Stapled hemorrhoidectomy demonstrated significantly shorter operation times (22 vs. 53 min) and hospital stays (3 vs. 6.1 days).
  • Patients in the stapler group experienced less postoperative pain (VAS 1.83 vs. 3.70) and required fewer analgesics (0.92 vs. 3.11 doses).
  • The complication rate was lower in the stapler group (4%) compared to the conventional group (11%).

Conclusions:

  • Stapled hemorrhoidectomy is a feasible procedure for specific grades of hemorrhoids, offering significant patient benefits.
  • While results are promising, conventional reconstructive operations should continue until long-term data for stapled techniques are available.
