On postoperative treatment of hemorrhoids

Abstract

In recent years, the question of surgical treatment of hemorrhoids has not come down from the columns of Russian journals, and in this area still noticeable variety of opinions, and various operational modifications are put forward. Leaving the latter aside, I will only touch in this article on the postoperative treatment of hemorrhoids. If we turn to surgical manuals, operative and private, we will see that almost everywhere they recommend inserting a drainage tube, wrapped in simple or subformed gauze, into the anus and giving the patient opium after hemorrhoids surgery.
