What is a Hemorrhoidectomy Procedure?

A hemorrhoidectomy involves carefully excising enlarged hemorrhoidal tissue through precision surgical methods. It is considered when conservative measures no longer control symptoms.Procedures may involve open, closed, or stapled techniques depending on severity and patient factors, all aiming to provide lasting comfort.

A Simple Explanation for Patients

Over time, veins around your anal opening might swell painfully or bleed. This surgery gently removes those swollen areas, helping you stop pain and bleeding while restoring normal comfort and function.

Why is a Hemorrhoidectomy Procedure Needed?

When bleeding, pain, or prolapse from haemorrhoids becomes severe enough that creams and lifestyle changes aren’t enough, surgery becomes the best way to finally relieve symptoms. Prompt care avoids complications like thrombosis or infection.

Common Reasons and Key Conditions Treated

• Grade III or IV internal haemorrhoids with prolapse.
• Persistent bleeding despite medical treatment.
• Haemorrhoids causing troublesome pain or thrombosis.
• Failed non-surgical interventions leading to symptoms.
• External haemorrhoids with significant swelling or ulceration.

Types of Hemorrhoidectomy Surgery

Different surgical methods offer customised approaches to haemorrhoid removal:

• Open hemorrhoidectomy: Haemorrhoids are removed, leaving the wound open to heal naturally.
• Closed hemorrhoidectomy: Wounds are sutured closed for faster healing.
• Stapled hemorrhoidopexy: Hemorrhoidal cushions are repositioned, and excess mucosa is removed with a stapling device, reducing pain.
• Laser or electrocoagulation methods: Use energy to excise or shrink hemorrhoidal tissue.

What Happens During the Hemorrhoidectomy Procedure Steps?

Under general or regional anaesthesia during hemorrhoidectomy surgery, the surgeon exposes the anal canal and the buttocks area. Using a scalpel, laser, or electrocautery, the swollen hemorrhoidal tissue is carefully removed. Bleeding vessels are tied or cauterised, and wounds may be left open or sutured depending on technique.

Step-by-Step Breakdown

• The patient is anaesthetised and positioned comfortably (usually lithotomy).
• The anal area is disinfected and exposed using retractors for visibility.
• An incision is made around the hemorrhoidal tissue using a scalpel or cautery.
• Hemorrhoidal cushions dissected and excised.
• Vessels are ligated or cauterised to minimise bleeding.
• The wound may be closed with absorbable sutures (closed) or left open (open technique).
• Medicated dressings are applied to aid healing and reduce infection risk.

Recovery After Hemorrhoidectomy Surgery

Recovery varies but typically involves mild to moderate pain managed with medication, sitz baths for comfort, and a gradual return to normal bowel habits over weeks. Most patients resume everyday activities within 2–3 weeks, with the occasional longer healing depending on the extent.

Complications of Hemorrhoidectomy Procedure

Though safe, possible complications include pain, bleeding, infection, urinary retention, anal narrowing, or, rarely, incontinence. Our teams focus on prevention through modern techniques and attentive post-operative care for swift complication management.
