The closed technique for surgical hemorrhoidectomy resulted in significantly less postoperative pain and faster wound healing compared to the open technique. This study highlights the closed method

Area of Science:

  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Hemorrhoid Treatment

Background:

  • Hemorrhoids affect a significant portion of the population, impacting quality of life.
  • Surgical hemorrhoidectomy remains a common treatment for advanced hemorrhoids.
  • Open and closed surgical techniques are employed, with varying outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the efficacy of open versus closed surgical hemorrhoidectomy.
  • To evaluate postoperative pain, wound healing, and morbidity between the two techniques.
  • To determine the optimal surgical approach for Grade III and IV hemorrhoids.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective, randomized clinical trial involving patients with Grade III/IV hemorrhoids.
  • Random allocation to either open (wound left open) or closed (wound sutured) hemorrhoidectomy.

  • Pain assessment via linear analog scale and opioid consumption; follow-up at 1, 2, and 3 weeks.

    • Main Results:

    • The closed technique group reported significantly lower pain scores post-anesthesia and during the first bowel movement.
    • Fewer patients in the closed group (15%) required additional pain medication compared to the open group (45%).
    • Wound healing was significantly faster in the closed group, with 75% healed by 3 weeks versus 18% in the open group.

    Conclusions:

    • The closed surgical hemorrhoidectomy technique offers advantages over the open technique.
    • Reduced early postoperative pain and accelerated wound healing are key benefits of the closed method.
    • The closed technique is recommended for improved patient outcomes in hemorrhoid surgery.
