Hemorrhoidectomy
Hemorrhoidectomy is a surgical procedure to remove hemorrhoids, which are swollen and enlarged veins in the rectum and anus. The procedure is typically recommended when hemorrhoids cause significant symptoms, such as: Pain, Bleeding, Protrusion, and Infection.
There are several different types of hemorrhoidectomy, including:
Open hemorrhoidectomy: The hemorrhoids are cut away and the wound is left open to heal.
Closed hemorrhoidectomy: The hemorrhoids are cut away and the wound is closed with stitches.
Stapled hemorrhoidectomy: A special device called a stapler is used to remove the hemorrhoids and close the wound.
Laser hemorrhoidectomy: A laser is used to cauterize and remove the hemorrhoids.
Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery and the individual patient. Most patients can resume their normal activities within a few weeks.
* Results may vary from person to person.
