Abstract
In this study, we introduce a surgical procedure for multiple-quadrant hemorrhoid crisis, namely Lingnan surgery, and discuss its clinical efficacy and safety. We performed a retrospective analysis of patients with acute incarcerated hemorrhoids who underwent Lingnan surgery at the Anorectal Department of Yunan County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Guangdong Province from 2017 to 2021. The baseline data, preoperative condition, and postoperative condition of each patient were recorded in detail. A total of 44 patients were studied. There were no cases of massive hemorrhage, wound infection, wound nonunion, anal stenosis, abnormal anal defecation, recurrent anal fissure, or mucosal eversion within 30 days after surgery, and no recurrence of hemorrhoids and anal dysfunction occurred during the 6-month follow-up after surgery. The average operation time was 26.5±6.2min (17-43min). The average length of hospital stay was 4.0±1.2 days (2-7 days). In terms of postoperative analgesia, 35 patients took oral nimesulide, 6 did not use any analgesics, and 3 required nimesulide plus tramadol by injection. The mean Visual Analog Scale pain score was 6.8±0.8 preoperatively and 2.9±1.2, 2.0±0.7, and 1.4±0.6at 1, 3, and 5 days postoperatively, respectively. The average basic activities of daily living score was 98.2±2.6 (90-100) at discharge. Lingnan surgery is easy to perform and has obvious curative effects, providing an alternative to conventional procedures for acute incarcerated hemorrhoids.
