Ligation anopexy versus hemorrhoidectomy in the treatment of second- and third-degree hemorrhoids
Abstract Background The aim of the study was to compare ligation anopexy ( LA ) and conventional hemorrhoidectomy ( CH ) in treatment of second- and third-degree hemorrhoids . Methods A prospect i ve controlled r and omized clinical trial included 100 patients who underwent CH ( CH group ) and 100 patients who underwent LA ( LA group ) . A detailed history was taken from all the patients . The effectiveness , safety , postoperative complications , operative time , length of hospital stay , time until first bowel movement , time until return to work , and postoperative pain score were assessed . Results There was no significant difference between groups regarding age , sex , and preoperative symptoms . The LA group had significantly shorter operative times , earlier first bowel movement , and an earlier return to work/activities . The postoperative pain score in the LA group was significantly lower than that in the CH group on days 1 , 3 , 7 , and 14 after surgery . There was no significant difference between groups as regards postoperative complications . Conclusions LA is safe , and as effective as CH in the treatment of grade II and grade III hemorrhoids , with shorter operative times , earlier mobilization , and lower postoperative pain scores
