Surgery can be performed with a scalpel or through an electric pen or laser. This surgery is usually performed in the hospital, where you can often go home the same day without hospitalization.

In this process, devices with round heads are used to remove hemorrhoid tissue.

In some types of these surgeries, no incision is made. In this process, the hemorrhoids are raised and inserted into their original location, the anal canal, which is called hemorrhoidopexy stapler surgery.

Hemorrhoidectomy

Patients usually feel less pain after stapler hemorrhoidectomy compared to those who have performed traditional hemorrhoid surgery, but it is necessary to mention that the cost of this type of surgery is higher. In addition, for patients who are treated through this method, there is a higher probability of recurrence of hemorrhoids and surgery again.

Hemorrhoidectomy is also a procedure that uses a scope with a special rod to insert into the veins of the hemorrhoids, thus removing less tissue. Studies show that this type of surgery is less painful, but more studies are still needed in this field.

Recovery after hemorrhoidectomy

Recovery after this surgery takes about two to three weeks.

 They will probably give you painkillers for 6 to 12 hours after the surgery.

If you don’t want to stay overnight in the hospital after surgery, you can go home after the anesthesia wears off.

 Inability to urinate sometimes occurs due to tissue swelling or pelvic muscle spasm.
