Comparative Study of Stapled and Open Hemorroidectomy

Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1

Abstract

Background and Objectives: Stapled Hemorroidectomy has rapidly become established as the popular alternative to open Hemorroidectomy, it has a safety profile better than open procedure. Objectives: To compare the short term outcome of Stapled Hemorroidectomy, with Open haemorrhoidectomy (MilliganMorgan) in terms of Duration of surgery Post operative pain and analgesia Safety and efficacy of the procedure Procedure time Intra-op complication Duration of hospital stay Post operative complications Days taken for Return to Work Anorectal physiological functions and recurrence Patient satisfaction Methods: Prospective study from Oct 2014 to June 2016, involved 90 patients undergoing surgery for haemorrhoid at Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences, Karad who fulfilled the criteria were included in the study. Forty five underwent Milligan Morgan technique of open haemorrhoidectomy and forty five underwent Longo technique of Stapled hemorroidopexy. Descriptive statistical analysis has been carried out in the present study. Significance is assessed at 5 % level of significance, Student t test (two tailed, independent) has been used to find the significance of study parameters on continuous scale in parametric condition between two groups Inter group analysis) and Mann Whitney U test (two tailed, dependent) has been used to find the significance of study parameters on continuous scale in non-parametric condition with in each group. Chi-square/ Fisher Exact test has been used to find the significance of study parameters on categorical scale between two groups. Results: stapledhemorrhoidopexy is associated with shorter duration of surgery, less postoperative pain and need for analgesia, shorter duration of hospital stay and a quicker recovery, earlier return to work and a high patient satisfaction as compared with Conventional hemorrhoidectomy (Milligan Morgan technique) of Open Hemorrhoidectomy. Conclusions: The findings of our study confirm that stapled hemorrhoidopexy is associated with shorter duration of surgery, less postoperative pain and need for analgesia, shorter duration of hospital stay and a quicker recovery, earlier return to work and a high patient satisfaction as compared with Conventional hemorrhoidectomy (Milligan Morgan technique) of Open Hemorrhoidectomy. The procedure is not associated with major post operative complications. There is no recurrence, residual prolapse or incontinence in the follow up period of six months. We conclude that stapled hemorrhoidopexy is safe with many short-term benefits. It is a novel technique and has emerged as an alternative to open hemorrhoidectomy , long considered the “gold standard”.
