Stapled hemorrhoidopexy and hemorrhoids
Video about staple hemorrhoidoplexy:
Stapled hemorrhoidopexy is a new alternative available for individuals with significant hemorrhoidal
prolapse introduced by Longo in 1997. During Stapled hemorrhoidopexy circular stapling device is inserted into the
rectum, pushing the hemorrhoids and the tissue surrounding them up into the anal canal.
The stapler then is fired, stapling the hemorrhoids and surrounding tissue to tissue higher up in the anal canal
.
In this way stapled hemorrhoidopexy reduces blood flow to the internal hemorrhoids. These internal hemorrhoids
then typically shrink within four to six weeks.
The main advantages of this hemorrhoid surgery method
are:
average 90% success rate can be achieved;
hemorrhoids are not excised;
prolapsed anorectal mucosa is returned to its original anatomical position by means of removing and
stapling redundant mucosa;
after surgery the blood flow in hemorrhoidal vessels decreases;
it is observed substantial reduction of postoperative pain;
less analgesics are required after surgery
earlier discharge from hospital in comparison to Hemorrhoidectomy Disadvantages:
If too much muscle tissue is drawn into the device during the procedure, it can result in damage to the
rectal wall.
The internal muscles of the sphincter may stretch, resulting in short-term or long-term dysfunction which
may lead to temporary incontinence disturbance
Stapled hemorrhoidopexy promotes higher risk of recurrence and prolapse (protrusion outside the anus) than
conventional hemorrhoid surgery
new procedure – there is no statistically significant results for the long-term benefits of this
treatment.
