About Stapler Hemorrhoidectomy

A stapler hemorrhoidectomy, also known as a Procedure for Prolapse and Hemorrhoids (PPH), is a modern surgical technique performed by general surgeons to treat advanced internal hemorrhoids. This minimally invasive procedure uses a specialized circular stapling device to remove a ring of excess tissue above the hemorrhoids, cutting off their blood supply and pulling them back into their normal position within the anal canal. Compared to traditional hemorrhoidectomy, it typically involves less post-operative pain, a shorter recovery period, and reduced bleeding. It is primarily indicated for patients with grade III or IV prolapsing hemorrhoids that have not responded to conservative treatments like dietary changes or rubber band ligation.

Key Highlights

    Minimally invasive technique with smaller external incisions.Generally associated with less post-operative pain compared to traditional surgery.Shorter procedure time and often performed as a day surgery.Faster return to normal activities and work.Reduces prolapse by repositioning tissue rather than extensive removal.Lower risk of significant bleeding during the procedure./ul

PATIENT REVIEW

Michael Chopra, a 45-year-old long-haul truck...

Michael Chopra, a 45-year-old long-haul truck driver, had been silently suffering for years. His sedentary job and irregular diet led to progressively worsening hemorrhoids. For the last six months, he experienced constant pain, bleeding that alarmed him, and a persistent, uncomfortable prolapse that made sitting for his 10-hour drives agonizing. He avoided seeking help, embarrassed and worried it would affect his ability to work and provide for his family. Finally, after a particularly painful episode, his wife insisted he see a doctor. A colorectal surgeon diagnosed him with grade IV internal hemorrhoids and recommended a stapler hemorrhoidectomy (PPH), explaining it was less painful than traditional surgery and would have him back to work sooner. Michael was terrified of surgery but desperate for relief. The procedure itself was under spinal anesthesia and felt like a long-awaited reprieve. The immediate post-op pain was significant but managed with medication. Within a week, the sharp pain subsided to a dull ache. After two weeks, he could sit comfortably for short periods. A month later, he was back on the road, pain-free and without bleeding for the first time in years. Emotionally, he moved from shame and stoic endurance to immense relief and gratitude. He regained not just physical comfort but also his confidence and peace of mind, no longer dreading every workday.
