Sutureless Hemorrhoidectomy Versus Conventional Ligation in Advanced Hemorrhoids

In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Hemorrhoidal disease is a frequent benign anorectal ailment in surgical practice. Conventional excisional hemorrhoidectomy using the Milligan-Morgan technique remains effective but is significantly limited by severe postoperative pain and related complications. Sutureless hemorrhoidectomy utilizing energy-based vessel sealing devices (such as LigaSure or Harmonic Scalpel) aims to minimize tissue trauma, blood loss, and postoperative discomfort. This prospective comparative randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate and compare the perioperative and postoperative outcomes of sutureless hemorrhoidectomy versus conventional ligation hemorrhoidectomy in adult patients with advanced (grades III and IV) hemorrhoidal disease.
