Abstract

Background: Haemorrhoidal disease is a painful concern to the sufferer and the treating surgeon. Several methods are available for treatment of hemorrhoids. Milligan Morgan Hemorrhoidectomy is the most widely practiced Gold standard surgical technique for the management of 3^rd and 4^th degree hemorrhoids. Staplers are novel methods known for its simplicity, ease and standardization to an anastomosis Material and Method: A case study was done to compare Open haemorrhoidectomy with Stapler Haemorrhoidectomy in context to parameters such as post-operative pain, early ambulation, post-operative complications in patients operated for stapler Hemorrhoidectomy Result: 50 patients were studied, of which 42 were male and 8 female. The postoperative pain as analysed by visual analogue scale was significantly high on the day of surgery for patients operate by open technique as compared to stapler. Conclusion: Operative time, duration of hospital stay and return to normal activity were more satisfactory with stapler haemorrhoidectomy than the open method. Hence, those who can afford the cost of surgery will definitely benefit, though it cannot be prescribed to all patients due to economic constraints. We still suggest long-term follow-up of all stapler Hemorrhoidectomy patients. [Solanki K Natl J Integr Res Med, 2019; 10(1):40-42]
