[Surgical treatment of hemorrhoids using Milligan-Morgan technique. Survey of 366 cases]

After a careful review of the Author's own case list and of the literature on this subject, Milligan-Morgans' technique is assessed and compared with different surgical techniques as far as early and late complications are concerned. The Authors conclude that the Milligan-Morgan technique is to be preferred because of its simplicity, safety and flexibility, particularly if associated with sphincterectomy, with or without rhagade, in order to prevent the cicatricial scars.
