ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate and compare the clinical effects of procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) and Ligasure technique (LT) for the treatment of severe hemorrhoids.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Patients with prolapsed hemorrhoids were randomly divided into two groups treated with PPH (n=44) and LT (n=42). The outcomes were evaluated postoperatively (i.e., operation time, length of hospital stay, pain intensity scoring, relapse of prolapse, bleeding and cost).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>(1)The average operating time for patients treated by LT was (12.0+/- 4.1) min, while for those by PPH was(19.0+/- 6.4)min (P < 0.05). (2)The average scores of visual analogue scale (VAS) for PPH and LT patients were 3.1 points (2 approximately 6) and 5.4 points (3~8) respectively(P < 0.05). (3)The average costs for LT group and PPH group were (4838+/- 301) yuan and (7796+/- 492) yuan respectively (P < 0.05). (4)In PPH group, 4 patients were complicated with hemorrhage (over 50 ml) and 1 patients with relapse, while there were no complications occurred in LT group. (5)Six months after operation, the self scores of postoperative pain,defecation and total satisfaction were 95.0%, 100% and 100% in PPH group, and 87.2%, 97.4% and 97.4% in LT group respectively.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Compared with PPH, LT has the advantages of shorter operation time, less hemorrhage and expense, but more postoperative pain. Both LT and PPH are effective procedures for severe hemorrhoids.</p>
