  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Ambulatory Surgery

Background:

  • Hemorrhoidectomy is a common surgical procedure.
  • Traditional hemorrhoidectomy often requires overnight hospitalization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of closed hemorrhoidectomies in an outpatient setting.
  • To assess patient acceptance and complication rates for ambulatory hemorrhoidectomy.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving 53 patients undergoing closed hemorrhoidectomies.
  • Procedures performed on an outpatient basis at two hospitals.

Main Results:

  • Patients tolerated the outpatient closed hemorrhoidectomy well.
  • No progression of complications was observed due to the ambulatory setting.
