[Surgical treatment of hemorrhoids]. / Khirurgicheskoe lechenie gemorroia.

Since 1994 in addition to standard operations for chronic and acute hemorrhoids in Krasnodar military hospital the device for suturing in removal of internal hemorrhoids has been applied. From 1994 to 2000 examination and treatment of 240 patients with hemorrhoids were carried out. In the study group (128 patients) hemorrhoidectomy was performed by the developed method, in control (112 patients)--by standard techniques. In early postoperative period significantly smaller quantity of complications were seen in the study group (8.4%) compared with control group (29.8%). Decrease of hospital stay and out-patient treatment was also seen. Relapses of the disease were not revealed in terms from one to six years after surgery. The device may be employed in simultaneous operations when concomitant anorectal diseases are present. The above results justify one-stage operations in combination of chronic hemorrhoids with anorectal diseases. The proposed device makes this surgery easier.
