Understanding Hemorrhoidectomy Surgery: A Complete Guide by Shanti Mad

Hemorrhoids, often called piles, are swollen veins in the lower rectum or anus that can cause pain, itching, bleeding, and discomfort. While mild cases can often be treated with lifestyle changes, medications, or minimally invasive procedures, severe or persistent hemorrhoids sometimes require surgical intervention — this is where hemorrhoidectomy surgery comes in.

At Shanti Madan Memorial Hospital, we understand the distress that hemorrhoids can bring to your daily life, and we are committed to providing the best care and surgical options to help you regain comfort and health.

What is Hemorrhoidectomy?

A hemorrhoidectomy is a surgical procedure to remove severe or thrombosed hemorrhoids, particularly when other treatments have failed. This surgery effectively eliminates both internal and external hemorrhoids and offers long-term relief from symptoms.

When is Hemorrhoidectomy Needed?

Not every patient with hemorrhoids requires surgery. Typically, hemorrhoidectomy is recommended when:

 Hemorrhoids are large and painful
 Bleeding is persistent and significant
 Other treatments like rubber band ligation or sclerotherapy have not worked
 There are recurrent blood clots in external hemorrhoids
 There’s prolapse (hemorrhoids that protrude outside the anus and cannot be pushed back)

Types of Hemorrhoidectomy

1. Conventional Hemorrhoidectomy:
   This involves surgically removing hemorrhoidal tissue using a scalpel, laser, or cautery. It is highly effective for severe cases.

2. Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy:
   This technique uses a circular stapling device to remove excess tissue and reposition the hemorrhoids. It generally causes less pain and allows faster recovery.

3. Laser Hemorrhoidectomy:
   A modern, minimally invasive option using laser energy to shrink hemorrhoidal tissue with minimal bleeding and faster healing.

How to Prepare for Surgery

• Discuss all medications and allergies with your surgeon.

• Avoid blood-thinning medications if instructed.

• Follow dietary restrictions and bowel prep instructions provided by your doctor.

• Arrange for someone to drive you home after surgery.

What to Expect After Hemorrhoidectomy

Post-surgery, patients may experience mild pain or discomfort, which can be managed with medications. You can expect:

• Pain during bowel movements for a few days

• Mild bleeding or discharge

• Instructions to maintain a high-fiber diet and drink plenty of water

• A recovery period of 1–2 weeks depending on the type of surgery

Our team at Shanti Madan Memorial Hospital ensures you receive detailed aftercare instructions and support throughout your recovery.
