Comparison Between Excisional Hemorrhoidectomy and Haemorrhoidal Dearterialisation With Anopexy

Third Degree Hemorrhoids Clinical Trial

Official title: Prospective Randomized Trial on Surgical Treatment of Grade 3 Hemorrhoids: Hemorrhoidectomy Versus Doppler-guided Transanal Haemorrhoidal Dearterialisation and Anopexy

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Aim of the study is to compare short term results of 2 surgical treatment for grade 3 hemorrhoidal disease, namely: pain and postoperative morbidity,complications and effectiveness within 30 days, re-starting daily and working activity, patients' satisfaction

Clinical Trial Description

Excisional haemorrhoidectomy is burdened by severe postoperative pain. For this reason less painful treatments have been developed, such as Doppler-guided haemorrhoidal artery ligation and stapled anopexy. Both techniques seem to be safe, causing little postoperative pain. A combination of the two techniques could possibly treat both bleeding and prolapse with minimal discomfort ;
