Hemorrhoidectomy

Service Summary

Hemorrhoidectomy is a surgical procedure to remove internal or external hemorrhoids that are symptomatic and resistant to conservative treatment. Performed under local, spinal, or general anesthesia, the procedure involves excising the hemorrhoidal tissue and controlling bleeding, typically using a scalpel, electrocautery, or laser. Techniques include open or closed excision and stapled hemorrhoidopexy (PPH), which repositions tissue and reduces blood flow to the hemorrhoids. The approach depends on the type, size, and severity of the hemorrhoids.
