Prospective Study On Evaluation Of Stapler Hemorrhoidectomy

Abstract

Objective: Aim of this study is to evaluate the results of stapler hemorrhoidectomy considering operative time, intra-operative bleeding, post-operative pain and analgesia, post-operative complications, post-operative recovery, return to activity and patient acceptability. Method: The study included 30 patients of all age groups and both sexes. The equipment used was the PPH-03 set (procedure for prolapse and haemorrhoids set) consisting of 33mm endosurgical circular stapler, circular anal dilator [CAD 33], purse string suture anoscope [PSA 33] & suture threader [ST 100]. Conclusion: Stapler hemorrhoidectomy is much superior in terms of post-operative pain, intra-operative blood loss and return to work. Stapler hemorrhoidectomy does not involve dissection and excision of the perianal skin and this undoubtedly contributes to the reduced pain scores. This reduction in pain and absence of perianal skin wounds helped better and rapid recovery. Early functional and symptomatic outcomes have been satisfactory.
