ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the effect of the width of excisional mucosal stoma ring on postoperative results of procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) in the treatment of hemorrhoids.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Four hundred and eighty hemorrhoid patients were treated with circular stapler. Whether excisional mucosa stoma ring was regular or not, and its width were recorded. After follow-up from one month to 24 months,the outcomes were compared.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The mean age of the patients was (46.6+/- 5.1) years. Regular mucosa stoma ring was excited in 303 cases,while irregular ring in 177 cases. Hemorrhoids prolapse occurred in 18 cases of the patients with irregular mucosal ring excited, while only 8 cases of the patients with regular ring excited (P< 0.01). There was significant difference in the incidence of hemorrhoids prolapse between the different groups according to different width of excisional mucosal stoma ring (P< 0.01), and the patients with postoperative hemorrhoids prolapse was lest with the width of excisional mucosal stoma ring more than 3 cm.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The width of excisional mucosal stoma ring is one of the effecting factors of surgical outcomes. It is effective to excite mucosal stoma ring more than 2 cm,and most effective to excite mucosal stoma ring more than 3 cm.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the relationship between stoma position and postoperative effects of procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) in the treatment of hemorrhoids.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Four hundred and one hemorrhoid patients were treated with circular stapler. II hemorrhoids, 45 cases; III-IV hemorrhoids, 356 cases. The position of stoma located 1 cm up dentate line, 219 cases; 1-2 cm up dentate line, 87 cases; 2-3 cm up dentate line, 60 cases; 3-4 cm up dentate line, 25 cases; > 4 cm up dentate line, 10 cases. The patients were followed from one week to two years postoperatively.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Postoperative effects and procidentia rates have significant association with the position of stoma. If the distance between position of stoma and dentate line is < or = 2 cm, the postoperative procidentia rate was 1.1%, lower than that of the distance > or = 4 cm.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The complication and procidentia rate of PPH is associated with the stoma position. The stoma position should be no more than 2 cm to dentate line.</p>
