Hemorrhoidectomy with lateral ultrasonic dissection in cutting mode in patients with stages 3–4 hemorrhoids

Abstract

AIM: to assess original method of hemorrhoidectomy with lateral ultrasonic dissection in cutting mode in patients with stages 3–4 hemorrhoids.PATIENTS AND METHODS: a retrospective study included 140 patients with hemorrhoids 2–4 stages. In the main group (n = 80), an original technique of lateral ultrasound dissection in cutting mode was used (patent for invention No. 2722997). Patients in the control group (n = 60) underwent Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy using electrosurgical scalpel.RESULTS: significant differences were achieved in intensity of pain syndrome, morbidity rate, which were significantly in the main group. Histology showed that the depth of coagulative necrosis when in the original technique was 145 ± 25 µm vs 1730 ± 180 µm in the controls (р < 0,001). Anorectal manometry data, significantly less dysfunction anal sphincter was noted in the postoperative period in the main group.CONCLUSION: hemorrhoidectomy with lateral ultrasonic dissection in cutting mode reduces tissue trauma, morbidity rate and intensity of pain, and also promotes rapid restoration of anal continence.
