Comparative study between open, closed and stapled haemorrhoidectomy

ABSTRACT

In spite of different modifications to decrease pain after haemorrhoidectomy were applied such as lateral internal sphinectrotomy, closed haemorrhoidectomy, anal dilatation and sphincter relaxants, all of these techinques failed to decrease pain to gain universal acceptance [Seow- Choen, 2001]. Stapled haemorrhoidectomy dramatically decreases the postoperative pain and stay in hospital [longo, 1998]. The purpose of this article is to compare between different techniques of haemorrhoidectomy [open, closed and stapled] types
