Day case hemorrhoidectomy is safe and effective for most patients in a district general hospital setting. This approach allows for same-day discharge, minimizing inpatient stays and readmissions for surgical hemorrhoid treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Surgical Outcomes
  • Ambulatory Surgery

Background:

  • Hemorrhoidectomy is a common surgical procedure.
  • Day case surgery aims to reduce hospital stays and costs.
  • Evaluating the feasibility of day case hemorrhoidectomy in a district general hospital is important.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the uptake and outcomes of day case hemorrhoidectomy.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of same-day discharge for hemorrhoid surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A 4-year retrospective case note review was conducted.
  • Patients undergoing hemorrhoidectomy as day case or inpatient were analyzed.
  • Data collected included admission status, surgical technique, and readmissions.

Main Results:

  • 63 patients underwent day case hemorrhoidectomy (closed, stapled, or open).
  • 18 patients were treated as inpatients.
  • One patient required readmission for hemorrhage after day case surgery; two inpatients were readmitted.

Conclusions:

  • Closed hemorrhoidectomy with same-day discharge is a viable option for most patients.
  • Contraindications for day case surgery include concomitant medical conditions or emergency admission.
  • Day case hemorrhoidectomy should be considered for all suitable patients requiring surgical intervention.
