Several anorectal conditions may cause symptoms similar to those associated with hemorrhoids (Table 1). External hemorrhoids originate below the dentate line, have somatic innervation, and can cause pain. 25 A meta-analysis of RCTs comparing long-term results (12 to 84 months) of both procedures found that patients were twice as likely to require further treatment after stapled hemorrhoidopexy.26 Short- and long-term data show similar patient satisfactionbetween the procedures, suggesting that the early postoperative benefits of stapled hemorrhoidopexy may overridethe increased risk of additional surgery.26,27, Long-term risk of hemorrhoid recurrence at all time points (n = 7)*, Postoperative anal stenosis at all time points (n = 2)†, Postoperative bleeding at all time points (n = 6)†, Postoperative fecal urgency at final follow-up (n = 4)†, Postoperative pain at all time points (n = 5)†, Postoperative pruritus at all time points (n = 2)†, Postoperative soiling or difficulty with hygiene (n = 5)†, Postoperative symptom recurrence at final follow-up (n = 5)†. This surgery does not remove the hemorrhoids, but rather the expanded hemorrhoidal supporting tissue that has allowed the hemorrhoids to slip downward. In patients with severe symptoms, excision or incision under local anesthesia within 72 hours of onset; after 72 hours use medical treatment, Rubber band ligation, infrared coagulation, Rubber band ligation; excisional hemorrhoidectomy if primary treatment is ineffective, Rubber band ligation; stapled hemorrhoidopexy; excisional hemorrhoidectomy if primary treatment is ineffective, Rubber band ligation; excisional hemorrhoidectomy; stapled hemorrhoidopexy, Excisional hemorrhoidectomy; stapled hemorrhoidopexy. Patients in whom office-based treatment is ineffective and those with mixed hemorrhoids may require treatment in surgical suites with facilities for anesthesia. Walker AJ, This can put a stress on a general practitioner’s resources, may alienate the patient and delays the patient's return to a full, normal lifestyle and the workplace. Beck DE. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. Practice parameters for the management of hemorrhoids (revised). Hemorrhoidectomy for thrombosed external hemorrhoids. For patients with grade 2 hemorrhoids, there was no difference in symptom recurrence between the procedures. 2005;92(12):1481–1487. Sign up for the free AFP email table of contents. Nastro P. In: Proceedings of the Sixth World Congress of Endoscopic Surgery. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2005;48(12):2336–2340. Rectovaginal fistulas and anastomotic diverticula are very rare but possible. Thrombosed external hemorrhoids: outcome after conservative or surgical management. Gravante G, In patients with circumferential grade 2 disease, stapled hemorrhoidopexy is associated with a lower recurrence rate but a longer time until return to work, and more postoperative pain.23 Rubber band ligation can be used for grade 3 hemorrhoids; stapled hemorrhoidopexy and excisional hemorrhoidectomy are also options and have better long-term effectiveness, but cause more postoperative pain and complications and have longer recovery times. Tang CL, Skrekas GJ, Ala S, Don't miss a single issue. Hospital based; preoperative enema needed, Office based; no preoperative enema needed, Office based; no preoperative enema needed; higher failure rate than rubber band ligation, excisional hemorrhoidectomy, and stapled hemorrhoidopexy, Rubber band ligation is a common office treatment for internal hemorrhoids and is often recommended as the initial surgical treatment for grades 1 to 3 hemorrhoids.10 The procedure involves placing a rubber band around a portion of redundant anorectal mucosa. Management of haemorrhoids. A more recent article on hemorrhoids is available. Ashraf H. 2007;50(6):878–892. Procedure also removes abnormally enlarged hemorrhoidal tissue, followed by the repositioning of the remaining hemorrhoidal tissue back to its normal anatomic position. External hemorrhoids appear less pink and, if thrombosed, are acutely tender with a purplish hue (Figure 2). MacRae HM, 2011 Jul 15;84(2):204-210. Data Sources: The following evidence-based medicine resources were searched using the key words stapled hemorrhoidopexy, hemorrhoidectomy, hemorrhoids, hemorrhoid treatment, rubber band ligation hemorrhoids, hemorrhoid surgery, hemorrhoids pregnancy, and thrombosed external hemorrhoids: Essential Evidence Plus, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Pubmed, UpToDate, the National Guideline Clearinghouse, the Institute for Clinical Systems Improvement, and the Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects. Felt-Bersma RJ, 21. This vascular tissue is supported by connective tissue that, when weakened, leads to descent or prolapse of the hemorrhoids. 23. Vale L, Notash AY, Tejirian T, Hemorrhoids. Dig Surg. Prominent skin tags may, on occasion, be removed during the operation but this may increase the postoperative pain so is not routinely performed. *—Statistically significant difference (P < .05). Because of this, surgeons will generally reserve formal excision for the most severe cases of prolapse, or for patients who have failed to respond to conventional treatments. Campbell KL, Usually, the patient will be under general anesthetic, but only for 20–30 minutes. McCloud JM, Pain around anus; weight loss in advanced cases, Anal mass without bleeding; history of anal intercourse, Tearing pain and bleeding with bowel movement, Blood in stool, weight loss, abdominal pain, change in bowel habit, family history, Constitutional symptoms, abdominal pain, diarrhea, family history, Normal external rectal examination; rarely, fistula; colitis on anoscopy, Tender mass covered with skin as opposed to rectal mucosa. Comparison of hemorrhoidal treatments: a meta-analysis. In addition to correcting the symptoms associated with the prolapse, problems with bleeding from the piles are also resolved by this excision. Camlica H, Immediate, unlimited access to all AFP content. Heels-Ansdell D, This procedure is for internal hemorrhoids only and not for external hemorrhoids or anal fissures. Stapled hemorrhoidopexy has a faster postoperative recovery, but a higher recurrence rate. 9. Antropoli M. Rubber band ligation is the treatment of choice for grades 1 and 2 hemorrhoids. Asoglu O. One to three bands can be applied per session, depending on the surgeon's preference and patient tolerance. The choice of procedure should be based on the patient's symptoms, the extent of the hemorrhoidal disease, and the experience of the surgeon. 27. Internal hemorrhoids. Walker AJ, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2006, Issue … Ovens L, Many cases have been successfully performed under local or regional anesthesia and the procedure is suited to day case treatment. This procedure avoids the need for wounds in the sensitive perianal area and, as a result, has the advantage of significantly reducing the patient's post operative pain. Other postoperative complications of excisional hemorrhoidectomy include skin tags, abscess, fistula, and anal leakage.20. If medical therapy is inadequate, surgical intervention is warranted.

Topical diltiazem (obtained from a compounding pharmacy) can be used to decrease postoperative pain after excisional hemorrhoidectomy. Hemorrrhoids result from dilation of the submucosal vascular tissue in the distal anal canal. Any external component which remains will usually regress over a period of 3–6 months. Ho YH, PPH is generally indicated for the more severe cases of internal hemorrhoidal prolapse (3rd and 4th degree) where surgery would normally be indicated. Thaha MA, It may also be indicated for patients with minor degree haemorrhoids who have failed to respond to conservative treatments. Devillé W, 8. Abbas MA. STARR is a surgical procedure that is performed through the anus, requires no external incisions, and leaves no visible scars. The procedure is well tolerated, but success rates are lower than those with rubber band ligation.13 Infrared coagulation may be considered in patients who are on anticoagulant therapy.20, In excisional hemorrhoidectomy, an elliptical incision is made over the hemorrhoidal complex, which is then mobilized from the underlying sphincter and excised. Procedure also removes abnormally enlarged hemorrhoidal tissue , followed by the repositioning of the remaining hemorrhoidal tissue back to its normal anatomic position. A metaanalysis of seven randomized trials of patients with symptomatic hemorrhoids showed that fiber supplementation with psyllium, sterculia, or unprocessed bran decreased bleeding, pain, prolapse, and itching.5, Nonprescription topical preparations containing steroids, anesthetics, astringents, and/or antiseptics are often recommended for all grades of hemorrhoidal disease. 29. 2007 Sep. 50(9):1297-305. . 11. Adequate intake of fluid and fiber helps soften the stool. Saeedi M, Iyer VS, Medical therapy should be initiated with stool softeners plus local therapy to relieve swelling and symptoms. Koler M, Cataldo P, Results of stapling and conventional hemorrhoidectomy. A meta-analysis. Stapled hemorrhoidopexy is an alternative treatment for grades 2 to 4 hemorrhoids.23 The device removes a circumferential column of mucosa and submucosa immediately above the hemorrhoids, thus interrupting the blood supply.
