ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the clinical treatment of Doppler guided hemorrhoid artery ligation (DG-HAL) combined with ultrasound-knife excision for severe hemorrhoids. Methods Eighty-seven patients with sever hemorrhoids were divided into 2 groups by the different admission months, the patients in group A (odd-numbered month) were treated by DG-HAL combined with ultrasound-knife excision, and the patients in Group B (bimonthly) were treated by procedure for prolaps and hemorrhoids. The clinical date were compared between 2 groups. Results There were no statistical differences in postoperative pain score and total efficient rate between 2 groups (P>0.05). The operating time, total hospitalization expenses and the incidences of postoperative bleeding, long term postoperative anal discomfort in group A were significantly lower than those in group B (25.5 ± 2.8) min vs. (36.8 ± 4.6) min, (7 859 ± 564) yuan vs. (10 728 ± 733) yuan, 0 vs. 12.8%(5/39) and 2.1%(1/48) vs. 17.9%(7/39), the patient satisfaction score was significantly higher than that in group B (9.3 ± 0.7) scores vs. (8.1 ± 0.6) scores, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). Conclusions DG-HAL combined with ultrasound-knife excision to treat severe hemorrhoids has the definite treatment, less trauma, fewer complications and cheaper hospitalization expenses.
