description | Introduction: Haemorrhoids or ‘Piles’ is a frequently
observed disease in surgical practice. Various non
surgical and surgical treatments are available. Open
haemorrhoidectomy (Milligan-Morgan) is a widely used
procedure. A recent novel technique called ‘Stapled
haemorrhoidectomy’, first described and performed
by Italian surgeon Antonio Longo is gaining worldwide
recognition for its benefits.
Aim: To compare Stapled haemorrhoidectomy with
open (Miligan Morgan) haemorrhoidectomy in terms of
post operative pain, resumption of daily activity, hospital
stay, post operative bleeding, urinary retention and anal
incontinence.
Study Design: Prospective, comparative study from
August 2011 to September 2013.
Materials and Methods: A total of 100 patients
between the age group of 20 and 70 years, diagnosed
to have grade II, III or IV haemorrhoids were included in
the study, divided into 2 groups, Group 1 undergoing
Open haemorrhoidectomy (50 patients) and Group 2
undergoing Stapled haemorrhoidectomy (50 patients).
Post operatively patients of both groups were reviewed
at the time of discharge, at 7 days after discharge, at 1
month and 3 months post surgery. All patients were given
a questionnaire and data collected verbally and analysed
statistically. Comparative analysis between the two
groups were done based on Independent sample ‘t’ test
or students ‘t’ test using a SPSS version 20.
Results: The mean age of patients in Open
haemorrhoidectomy (OH) group was 40.68 and Stapler
haemorrhoidectomy (SH) group was 39.52. 78% were
males and 22% were females in OH group, 90% were
males and 10% were females in SH group. Post operative
bleeding in both OH and SH group had an incidence of
2%. Post operative urinary retention was seen in 4% and
8% in OH and SH group respectively. In both groups,
post operative anal incontinence was not seen. Based
on Independent sample ‘t’ test the post operative pain,
Post operative hospital stay and duration of resumption
of daily activity was less in SH group compared to OH
group and statistically significant with p<0.001. However,
complications like post operative bleeding, urinary
retention and anal incontinence are almost same in both
the groups.
Conclusion: Stapled Haemorrhoidectomy is less painful
with shorter duration of hospital stay and resumption of
daily activity is faster than the open haemorrhoidectomy.
However, long term follow-up is required to know the
recurrence rate in stapled haemorrhoidectomy. |
