Comparison of long-term effects between procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids and Milligan Morgan hemorrhoidectomy in the treatment of III and IV degree of hemorrhoids

Abstract

Objective To compare the long-term effects between procedurefor prolapse and hemorrhoids(PPH) and Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy( MMH ) in the treatment of Ⅲ and Ⅳ degree of hemorrhoids. Method The clinical data of 43 cases with Ⅲ and Ⅳ degree hemorrhoids received PPH (PPH group)and 71 cases received MMH (MMH group) were analyzed retrospectively from October 2001 to July 2003. Results Late bleeding in 5 cases of PPH group and no one of MMH group (P ＜0.05).Hemorrhoidal recurrence prolapsed in 9 cases of PPH group and 5 cases of MMH group (P ＜ 0.05). The rectal neck pressure preoperative,after 6 months, 1 year and 3 years were (122.0 ± 11.3), (90.0 ± 10.4),(103.0 ± 13.8) and (113.0 ± 11.2) cm H2O (1 cm H2O =0.098 kPa) of PPH group,after 6 months was decreased obviously than preoperative (P＜0.05),and they were ( 126.0 ± 13.5), (91.0 ± 12.4), (78.0 ±9.8) and (81.0 ± 7.5 ) cm H2O of MMH group,after 6 months, 1 year and 3 years were decreased obviously than preoperative (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion PPH is safety and effect at short time,but it brings more late bleeding and anal pain,and its rate of prospective hemorrhoidal recurrence is more higher than MMH.
