Surgical Outcomes of Haemorrhoidectomy along With Suture Haemorrhoidopexy in Multiple Haemorrhoids

Abstract

Background: Dealing multiple haemorrhoids at a time is challenging for surgeon in the fear of developing anal stenosis postoperatively. Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the outcome of suture haemorrhoidopexy for secondary position haemorrhoids in addition to haemorrhoidectomy for primary haemorrhoids (multiple). Methodology: This prospective interventional study was performed in Dhaka Medical College Hospital and in a private hospital in Gazipur, Bangladesh for over five (05) years from January 2012 to December 2016. Patients who presented with multiple haemorrhoids were included in this study. Open haemorrhoidectomy followed by suture haemorrhoidopexy was done. All patients were followed up after 1, 2, 4, 8 weeks, 6 months and 1 yearly. Result: Total 18 patients were operated. Among those immediate complications were encountered in patients as per rectal bleeding 1(5.55%), pain 3(visual pain scale 4)16.66%, mucosal oedema 6(33.33%), no patient developed early postoperative prolapse. No patient developed bowel incontinence. Late complications experienced as prolapse at 1 year follow up which was treated by conservative measures. No patient developed anal stenosis. Mean operating time was 25 minutes and duration of hospital stay was 1 day. Conclusion: Open haemorrhoidectomy along with suture haemorrhoidopexy for multiple haemorrhoids is a safe and cost effective alternate surgical procedure instead of PPH stapler.
