Abstract:
Hemorrhoidal disease is a common problem in a proctological ambulatory. Surgery is the best therapy for fourth degree hemorrhoids and the complication rate is 10-20%: postoperative urinary retention etiology is unknown but it may be caused by dysfunction of bladder muscles in response to pain and by an excessive perioperative somministration of fluids; delayed hemorrhage (i.e., 7-10 days postoperative) needs an inpatient care and the treatment ranges from bedside and packing to hemorrhoid pedicle suture ligation in the operating room. Anal stenosis is most commonly a result of a prior improper hemorrhoidectomy: it may be mild, moderate or severe; V-Y and C-anoplasty are the best therapy, also for ectropion. Rubber band Ligation and Sclerotherapy are the most common treatment of internal hemorrhoids: external hemorrhoid trombosis and delayed hemorrage are frequent complications.
