Who is this surgery for?
- Large, prolapsed (protruding) hemorrhoids that cannot be pushed back inside.
- Severe and recurrent bleeding from hemorrhoids leading to anemia.
- Intense pain and thrombosis (blood clots) within external hemorrhoids.
- Failure of conservative management (high-fiber diet, sitz baths, topical creams).
- Strangulated hemorrhoids, where blood supply is cut off, causing extreme pain.
- Hygiene difficulties or significant irritation due to persistent hemorrhoids.
- Patient preference for a permanent solution after trying other treatments.
How to prepare
- Complete a thorough medical evaluation, including blood tests and possibly an ECG.
- Disclose all current medications, especially blood thinners (aspirin, warfarin), which may need to be paused.
- Follow specific dietary instructions, which may include a light diet or clear liquids the day before.
- Undergo bowel preparation, such as taking laxatives or an enema, to empty the colon.
- Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure and assist you during initial recovery.
- Fast (no food or drink) for 6-12 hours before the surgery as advised by the surgeon.
- Discuss anesthesia options (local, spinal, or general) and associated pre-operative guidelines.
Risks & possible complications
- Bleeding during or after the procedure, which may rarely require further intervention.
- Pain and discomfort in the anal region, which is common but manageable with medication.
- Infection at the surgical site, requiring antibiotics.
- Temporary difficulty with urination (urinary retention).
- Rare risk of anal stenosis (narrowing of the anal canal) or fecal incontinence.
- Recurrence of hemorrhoids, though less likely with surgical removal.

- Delayed healing or formation of a skin tag near the anus.
Recovery & hospital stay

I was a total wreck before...
I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a doctor on my own and I was convinced it was something serious. Dr. Ram just listened, didn't rush me, and explained everything in a way that actually calmed me down. The hospital is huge and a bit overwhelming, but he made it feel okay. Left feeling like I could breathe again.
