Doppler-guided or Non Doppler-guided Arterial Ligation and Mucopexy for Third Degree Hemorrhoids: That is the Question

HAMLeT
Start date: September 30, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Hemorrhoidal disease is one of the most common proctological disease affecting the general population from the mid-teens onward with considerable implications for the National Health Service (NHS) both from an economic point of view and from surgeon's workload.Improved understanding of the pathogenesis of hemorrhoids and of the complications associated with excisional hemorrhoidectomy led to the invention of newer surgical procedures, including Doppler guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation (DGHAL). This technique was introduced in 1995 by Morinaga et al. and consists in the use of a proctoscope with a Doppler transducer that detect the arterial structures. Since DGHAL does not involve tissue excision, it is expected to be associated with reduced postoperative pain if compared with hemorrhoidectomy. In the last decade several devices (THD and AMI/ HAL-RAR - Hemorrhoidal Artery Ligation and Recto Anal Repair) have been developed in order to improve and facilitate the execution of the technique, making easier the procedure. The hypothesis of the study is that a simple mucopexy procedure by suture-fixation of anal cushion without the aim of a Doppler device, could be as effective as DGHAL and mucopexy to manage prolapsing grade III hemorrhoids.
