Agree toTerms and ConditionsHemorrhoids surgery is a medical procedure that is performed to remove hemorrhoids, which are swollen, inflamed veins present in the lower part of the rectum/anus. Hemorrhoids can cause discomfort, pain, and bleeding, and can cause complications if left untreated. Surgery is usually recommended when other treatments such as lifestyle changes, medication, and non-surgical procedures have failed to provide relief.
Hemorrhoidectomy is a surgical procedure in which there is complete removal of hemorrhoids. This is usually recommended for severe cases wherein other treatments do not work. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and involves making incisions in the anus to remove the hemorrhoids. The recovery time for this procedure is usually longer than other procedures.
Rubber Band Ligation is a non-surgical procedure. In this, a rubber band is placed around the hemorrhoid base to cut off its blood supply. This makes the hemorrhoid shrink and eventually fall off. This procedure is usually recommended for patients with grade 1 or 2 hemorrhoids. The procedure is usually performed in the doctor's office and does not require anesthesia. The recovery time for this procedure is usually short.
Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical procedure; a solution is injected into the hemorrhoid to shrink it. This procedure is usually recommended for patients with grade 1 or 2 hemorrhoids. The procedure is usually performed in the doctor's office and does not require anesthesia. The recovery time for this procedure is usually short.
Laser Hemorrhoidectomy is a surgical procedure that involves using a laser to remove the hemorrhoids. This procedure is usually recommended for patients with grade 3 or 4 hemorrhoids.

This involves using a circular stapler to remove the hemorrhoids and reposition the remaining tissue. This is generally used for prolapsed hemorrhoids.
The surgeon injects a chemical solution into the hemorrhoid to shrink it. This is generally used for small internal hemorrhoids.
After the surgery, the patient is taken to a recovery room where he/she is monitored for any complications. The doctor gives instructions for care of the surgical site, including how to keep it clean and avoid infection. The patient may need to take painkillers and avoid strenuous activity for a period after the surgery.
As with any surgery, there are risks associated with hemorrhoid surgery. These may include bleeding, infection, and damage to nearby structures. The doctor discusses these risks with the patient before the surgery.
It is a traditional method for removing hemorrhoids where an incision is made in the tissue around the anus to remove the hemorrhoids. It requires general anesthesia and can be a painful procedure.
It involves using a circular stapler to remove the hemorrhoids and reposition the remaining tissue back into place. It causes less pain and requires less recovery time than open hemorrhoidectomy.
It involves using a special instrument to lift and remove the hemorrhoids. It is a less invasive procedure that causes less bleeding and involves a shorter recovery duration than open hemorrhoidectomy.
After the surgery, the patient is taken to the recovery room for observation. The patient may experience pain and discomfort in the anal area, which can be managed with pain medication. The patient may also experience bleeding and swelling in the area, which is normal and usually subsides within a few days. The patient is advised to rest for a few days and avoid strenuous activities. The doctor will provide instructions on how to care for the surgical area and when to follow up for a check-up.
There can be bleeding during or after the surgery. In some cases, a blood transfusion may be required to replace lost blood.
There is a risk of infection after any surgery. The patient is given antibiotics to prevent infection.
There may be difficulty urinating after the surgery, which can be caused by swelling or nerve damage. A catheter may be inserted to help the patient urinate.
There is a risk of fecal incontinence after the surgery, which is the inability to control bowel movements. This is a rare complication.
There is a risk of anal stenosis after the surgery, which is the narrowing of the anus. This can cause difficulty with bowel movements and may require further surgery to correct.
