Clinical Trial Summary

The study aims to compare the pain , duration of intervention and long term outcomes of laser hemorrhoidoplasty versus open surgical hemorrhoidectomy


Clinical Trial Description

Hemorrhoidal disease is ranked first among diseases of the rectum and large intestine, and the estimated worldwide prevalence ranges from 2.9% to 27.9%, of which more than 4% are symptomatic . Age distribution demonstrates a Gaussian distribution with a peak incidence between 45 and 65 years with subsequent decline after 65 years .Men are more frequently affected than women . The anorectal vascular cushions along with the internal anal sphincter are essential in the maintenance of continence by providing soft tissue support and keeping the anal canal closed tightly. Hemorrhoids are considered to be due to the downward displacement of suspensory (Treitz) muscle . There are many treatments of hemorrhoids varying from medications and band ligation to stapled hemorrhoidopexy, laser photocoagulation, sclerotherapy, Doppler-guided artery ligation, and finally surgery . The indications for the surgical treatment include the presence of a significant external component, hypertrophied papillae, associated fissure, extensive thrombosis or recurrence of symptoms after repeated RBL. The technique employed may be open (Milligan-Morgan) or closed (Ferguson) . Post hemorrhoidectomy pain is the commonest problem associated with the surgical techniques. The other early complications are urinary retention (20.1%), bleeding (secondary or reactionary) (2.4%-6%) and subcutaneous abscess (0.5%). The long-term complications include anal fissure (1% -2.6%), anal stenosis (1%), incontinence (0.4%), fistula (0.5%) and recurrence of hemorrhoids . The study aims to compare the pain , duration time of intervention and long term outcomes of laser hemorrhoidoplasty versus open surgical hemorrhoidectomy ;
