Stapled hemorrhoidectomy offers reduced pain for severe hemorrhoids compared to traditional surgery, with proven short-term effectiveness. However, rare serious complications and chronic pain necessitate careful surgical technique.

Area of Science:

  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Stapled hemorrhoidectomy (hemorrhoidopexy) is increasingly used for grade 3-4 hemorrhoids.
  • It is associated with less postoperative pain than traditional hemorrhoidectomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of stapled hemorrhoidectomy.
  • To discuss the role of technical surgical details in mitigating complications.

Main Methods:

  • Review of randomized controlled trials comparing stapled hemorrhoidectomy with traditional methods.
  • Analysis of complication rates and long-term outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Numerous trials support the short-term efficacy and reduced pain of stapled hemorrhoidectomy.
  • Rare but serious complications and chronic pain in a subset of patients are noted.

Conclusions:

  • Stapled hemorrhoidectomy is effective for symptomatic hemorrhoids, offering a less painful alternative.
  • Meticulous attention to surgical technique is crucial to minimize rare but severe complications and ensure patient safety.
