Anal mucosectomy for haemorrhoids: should we start to speak Chinese?

Abstract

CPH32 required significantly fewer sutures for bleeding control along the stapler line after circular mucosectomy. However, operation time, rate of postoperative complications and patient satisfaction were similar in both groups.

Does a more extensive mucosal excision prevent haemorrhoidal recurrence after stapled haemorrhoidopexy? Long‐term outcome of a randomized controlled trial

“…The value of using a ‘high volume stapler’ (CPH34 HV ® ; Frankenman International Ltd, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong) to decrease the prolapse recurrence rate was suggested in a prospective series of 430 patients with Stage III and IV haemorrhoids of whom only 1.8% developed recurrent prolapse , although it is important to bear in mind that this study was uncontrolled and industry driven. In contrast another study using the same stapler CPH34 HV for Stage III haemorrhoids failed to demonstrate any change in the volume of mucosa resected compared with the PPH device .…”
