“…1 Symptoms from hemorrhoids include bleeding, pain, prolapse and perianal itch with prevalence rates of up to 4.4% within the general population. 2 Given the prevalence of the condition, the management of hemorrhoidal disease continues to have considerable workload and costs implications for the National Health Service (NHS), with approximately 25,000 hemorrhoidal procedures being performed yearly in U.K. 3 Treatment of hemorrhoids depends mainly on the stage and symptoms of the disorder. Haemorrhoidectomy is considered an effective method for 3 rd and 4 th degree symptomatic hemorrhoids.…”

Background: Post haemorrhoidectomy pain and delayed wound healing are the most annoying drawbacks to the patients and the surgeons. Topical application of sucralfate or lidocaine may help in reducing postoperative pain and promoting wound healing after Milligan Morgan hemorrhoidectomy.Methods: This study was designed as a single-center double blinded randomized placebo controlled trial at the Department of general Surgery Menoufia University, immediately after Milligan Morgan Hemorrhoidectomy, a total of 150 patients were randomly assigned to receive either 10% Sucralfate ointment, 5% lidocaine ointment or placebo ointment (control group). The primary outcome measure was pain intensity measured by a visual analogue scale at different time points after hemorrhoidectomy and the secondary outcome measure was wound healing.Results: There was no significant difference in age, gender, and number of excised hemorrhoid piles between the two groups. At the 1st ,3rd and 7th days after surgery pain intensity was significantly lower in sucralfate group (4.18±0.82, 3.92±0.72, 3.56±0.67) when compared to lidocaine group (5.06±1.11, 4.70±0.84, 3.93±0.75) and placebo group (6.17±1.26, 5.42±0.98, 4.55±0.84). At the 21st and 28th days no significant difference in pain intensity between groups (p > 0.05) with better wound healing in sucralfate group (P<0.05).Conclusions: Sucralfate was able to reduce the acute postoperative pain and improve wound healing after hemorrhoidectomy, local anesthetic lidocaine could help in pain control but without effect on healing.

“…Objective of the study was to estimate the prevalence of hemorrhoids and anal fissure among the patients of anorectal ailments visiting NIUM hospital. Sample size was calculated as 279 on the basis of formula N=4pq/L2 (p=prevalence, q=1-p, L=allowable error), taking the prevalence rate (of hemorrhoids) as 38.93% [10] and permissible error level as 15%, but 416 patients were taken to increase the level of precision. Patients with pain, bleeding, discharge and/or prolapse per rectum of either sex were included in the study.…”

Background and objective: Anal fissure is one of the most painful conditions among the anorectal disorders. In classical Unani literature, anal fissure is termed as shiqaq e miqad. It is a common anorectal condition, and in terms of prevalence it ranks third after chronic constipation and haemorrhoids but exact data on its prevalence is rare. Therefore, this study was designed to estimate the prevalence of anal fissure among the patients of anorectal complaints visiting NIUM Hospital.
