Long-term Results After Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy: A Prospective Study With a 6-Year Follow-up

Abstract

Our long-term results show that this strategy for stapled hemorrhoidopexy can achieve a high level of patient satisfaction and symptom control, with a low rate of reoperation for recurrent hemorrhoidal symptoms.

Long-term outcomes after circular stapled hemorrhoidopexy versus Ferguson hemorrhoidectomy

“…A complete clinical assessment of all the patients was not possible at the time of the survey; therefore, we could not present an accurate recurrence rate assessed by clinical examination in this study. All survey studies evaluating postoperative outcomes after hemorrhoid surgery should be evaluated by considering the aforementioned limitations [20][21][22]. We performed subgroup analyses assessing anorectal function and QOL in particular time periods to reduce the possible impact of selection bias related to follow-up difference between the study groups.…”

Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy With Longo Process in the Treatment of 3rd and 4th Degree Internal Hemorrhoids and Rectal Mucosal Prolapsus: A Prospective Study

“…Ommer et al [12] studied prospectively long-term results after SH with a 6-year follow-up. At follow-up of 224 patients, 195 patients were satisfied or very satisfied with the operation.…”

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

“…Many studies have confirmed the advantages of stapled anal mucosectomy for the treatment of symptomatic haemorrhoids compared with conventional surgical excision in regard to perioperative pain and patient comfort . However, postoperative bleeding occurring in between 1.8 and 4% of cases and higher recurrence rates have been a major concern. Initially, the PPH01 stapler (Ethicon Endo‐Surgery, Spreitenbach, Switzerland) was used in many studies.…”
