ABSTRACT

Background. Haemorrhoidal disease is a frequent entity worldwide. The surgical management is indicated in third or fourth degree internal hemorrhoidal disease. The conventional hemorrhoidectomy has showed good results but the severe postoperative pain is an important complain. Currently diverse surgical alternatives have been described, mainly to avoid the postoperative pain that follows surgical hemorrhoidectomy. One of these new options is the stapled hemorrhoidectomy using the PPH stapler. This procedure may produce less postoperative pain, with a shorter inpatient stay and faster return to work. Objective. The aim of this paper is to analyze the results of using the Procedure for Prolapsed Hemorrhoids (PPH) as treatment in Hemorrhoidal Disease. Material and methods. This is an observational and descriptive study, where 17 patients underwent stapled hemorrhoidectomy with PPH procedure, between march 2000 and august 2003. Results. 52.8% of this patients presented grade three internal hemorrhoids and 47.2% grade four; 52.9% presented mild postoperative pain; 41.2% moderate and 5.9% severe pain. In a short and median follow up, due to the persistence of hemorrhoidal disease symptoms two patients required surgical re-intervention. Two more patients presented incontinency. One patient presented stenosis in the line of staples treated satisfactory with an anal dilatation session. Conclusions. The use of PPH is a feasible and safe procedure and it could be a surgical alternative in the treatment of hemorrhoidal disease, even before than conventional hemorrhoidectomy.


Introducción. La enfermedad hemorroidal tiene una prevalencia elevada en nuestro medio. El tratamiento quirúrgico está indicado cuando se presenta enfermedad hemorroidal interna grado III y IV. La hemorroidectomía convencional ha demostrado tener buenos resultados; sin embargo, el dolor postoperatorio es un inconveniente frecuente. Por ello se han propuesto otras alternativas entre las que se encuentra la hemorroidectomía con engrapadora (PPH), que puede ocasionar menor dolor postoperatorio y una recuperación más rápida. Objetivo. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar los resultados a corto y mediano plazos del uso de la engrapadora PPH en la enfermedad hemorroidal. Material y métodos. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y observacional de 17 pacientes sometidos a tratamiento quirúrgico con engrapadora PPH entre marzo de 2000 a agosto de 2003. Resultados. De los pacientes, 52.8% presentó hemorroides internas grado III y 47.2% grado IV. Presentaron dolor mínimo postoperatorio, 52.9%; 41.2% moderado y 5.9% dolor intenso. Debido a persistencia sintomática dos pacientes fueron reintervenidos quirúrgicamente. Dos más presentaron incontinencia. Un paciente presentó estenosis en la línea de grapas, tratado satisfactoriamente mediante una sesión de dilatación anal. Conclusiones. El empleo de la engrapadora PPH es un método factible y seguro que puede proponerse como una alternativa de elección antes de la hemorroidectomía convencional.
