Haemorrhoidectomy<\/strong><\/span> is the surgical resection of the haemorrhoids<\/strong>. General anaesthesia or raquianaesthesia is used to avoid pain. The incisions are performed in the tissue surrounding the haemorrhoids. The protruding haemorrhoid vein is ligated to prevent bleeding, and the haemorrhoid is excised. The surgical plague may be sutured or left open. Sterile dressing is applied onto the wound. The surgical intervention may be performed with a knife, a power tool (electrocautery tool) or using laser devices.<\/p>\nThere is a procedure using circular stapling to excise the haemorrhoids and suture the wound, without any incision. Through this procedure, the haemorrhoid is lifted and stapled back into the anal canal. This procedure is referred to as haemorrhoidopexy. People opting for this method may experience less pain than those opting for the traditional intervention, but it is, however, more costly and involves a higher relapse risk.<\/p>\n
What to expect after the surgical intervention:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Recovery takes approximately 2-3 months. Immediately after the surgery, when you still are under the effect of the anaesthesia, you will be administered a local long-acting anaesthetic, which ensures a postoperative pain management of approx. 6-12 hours. If you are not admitted overnight, you will only be dismissed from hospital after the effect of the anaesthesia disappears and you urinate. Urinary retention may also occur as a consequence of an edema in the tissue or of a spasm in the pelvic muscles. We recommend that you ask someone to accompany you.<\/p>\n Postoperative care:<\/p>\n The necessity of the surgical intervention:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Haemorrhoidectomy is recommended for:<\/p>\n The efficiency of the surgical intervention:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Surgery generally cures haemorrhoids. The long-term success of the surgery largely depends upon the patients\u2019 ability to change their diet and intestinal transit, so as to avoid constipation and defecation pressure. Approximately 15% of the cases relapse.<\/p>\n Risks:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Pain<\/strong><\/span>, bleeding<\/strong><\/span> and urinary retention<\/strong><\/span> are the most frequent secondary effects of haemorrhoidectomy.<\/p>\n Other relatively rare risks are:<\/p>\n Tips:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The success of the haemorrhoidectomy largely depends upon the patients\u2019 ability to change their diet, in order to facilitate defecation. Haemorrhoidectomy may offer better long-term results than the procedures interrupting the blood flow towards the haemorrhoids (fixative procedure). The surgery is more expensive, it involves higher risks and it generally is more painful.<\/p>\n The condition of most internal haemorrhoids is improved (they become smaller and the discomfort disappears) through home treatment or modern therapies. As compared to the surgical intervention, modern treatment procedures involve a lower risk, less pain and require a shorter interruption of the daily activities or work. Surgical intervention is recommended for small internal haemorrhoids (only in the case of associated large internal haemorrhoids or internal and external haemorrhoids).<\/p>\n Laser treatments are recommended as fast healing and less painful alternatives, but neither of these statements is proven, and these methods also are more costly than the traditional ones. The procedure lasts longer and may cause tissue lesions.<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sorry, this entry is only available in Rom\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-96","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-informarea-pacientului-proctologie"],"yoast_head":"\n\n
