Hemorrhoidal Artery

Doppler-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation (DGHAL) is a nonexcisional surgical technique for the treatment of hemorrhoidal disease, consisting of the ligation of the distal branches of the superior rectal artery, resulting in a reduction of blood flow and decongestion of hemorrhoidal plexus resulting in fibrosis. The aim of the study was to assess the efficacy and safety of DGHAL, define its indications, and identify its possible advantages and limitations for the treatment of second- and third-degree hemorrhoids. The procedure was performed using a specially designed proctoscope. The Doppler probe was used to locate all the terminal branches of hemorrhoidal arteries, which were then sutured. Patients were followed up for 2 years. From November 2006 to May 2009, 50 patients (29 female, mean age 38.2 years) underwent this procedure. The procedure was performed under local anesthesia. An average of five ligatures was placed. Average length of hospital stay was 2 hours and return to work was 2.5 days. The mean postoperative pain score was 1.72. There were no intra- or immediate postoperative major complications. In 44 patients (88%), surgery resolved the symptoms completely in a 2-year follow-up period. DGHAL is a safe and effective procedure. DGHAL can be the choice for second- and third-degree hemorrhoids with minimal postoperative pain and quick recovery.

Aim of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety, and long-term results of doppler-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation procedure with a 7-year follow-up period for treatment of grade II and III degree hemorrhoidal diseases. The procedure was performed by a specially designed proctoscope to locate and ligate all terminal branches of superior rectal artery. Patients were followed up at postoperative 1st week and 3rd, 12th, and 24th months by physical examination and 7th year by phone questionnaire using Short Form-36. Between November 2006 and May 2007, 50 patients (29 females, mean age = 38.2) underwent this procedure. All patients discharged at operation day and mean return to work was 2.5 days. There were no major complications and mean postoperative Visual Analogous Scale at first week was 1.72. At 24th month, 44 (88%) and 38 (76%) patients at 7th year were symptom free. Doppler-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation is a safe, effective, and outpatient procedure, which can be the treatment of choice for second- and third-degree hemorrhoidal diseases with satisfactory long-term results.

Background: Minimally invasive surgeries are currently advocated in hemorrhoidal disease for better patient satisfaction. The aim of our study is to assess the feasibility, efficacy and safety of a hybrid hemorrhoidal artery ligation under digital guidance with laser hemorrhoidoplasty (Hybrid HAL-LHP) in patients with grade II to III hemorrhoids.Methods: In a prospective clinical study, hybrid HAL-LHP was performed in 75 consecutive patients between May 2018 to February 2020 with grade II to III hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoidal artery ligation was done by digital palpation followed by laser hemorrhoidoplasty using a 1470 nm diode laser. Postoperative pain and bleeding, return to work, resolution of symptoms, recurrence and reoperation was assessed on a follow up upto 1 year.Results: Postoperative pain assessed on Visual analog score (VAS) was 2.82 on 3rd day, 1.28 on 7th day and till 14th day was extremely low. None of the patients had significant intraoperative or spontaneous postoperative bleeding. Most of the patients had some degree of post defecation bleeding till 7th to 14 days which resolved after 2 weeks. After a mean follow up of 16.6 months, we reported a suspected recurrence rate of 5.33%.Conclusions: Postoperative pain assessed on Visual analog score (VAS) was 2.82 on 3rd day, 1.28 on 7th day and till 14th day was extremely low. None of the patients had significant intraoperative or spontaneous postoperative bleeding. Most of the patients had some degree of post defecation bleeding till 7 to 14 days which resolved after 2 weeks. After a mean follow up of 16.6 months we reported a suspected recurrence rate of 5.33%.

Rectoanal Repair

Background: Hemorrhoidal disease is a common morbidity seen by general surgery clinics. Transanal Doppler guided (DG) hemorrhoidal artery ligation (HAL) with rectoanal repair (RAR) has been invented as a new treatment option. HAL-RAR was associated with mild to moderate postoperative complications in the literatures; and considered easy, safe, mostly painless procedure with very good results in treating hemorrhoids. Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the outcome of using DG-HAL-RAR procedure through documenting postoperative complications during a median follow-up period of 18 months. Method: The study included 151 women presented with hemorrhoids in Basra, operated upon using the DG-HALRAR and complications assessed. Results: The patients’ mean age was 40–99 years. Most of the hemorrhoids were internal plus external (86.1%), of third degree (68.2%) and non-recurrent (90.1%). The surgical management needed an average of 6 ligations and 3 mucopexies. During the follow up periods, the most frequent complication was early bleeding, while the least was hemorrhoids recurrence. Discussion: During the follow up period, the postoperative complications were early bleeding, early pain, urine retention, late bleeding, anal stenosis, and hemorrhoids recurrence, the incidence of which were similar or close to the incidence of documented by other studies, except for early bleeding which was much higher than in our study. Some complications, reported by other studies,were not reported in this study. Conclusions: DG-HAL-RAR procedure can be used effectively and safely in second or third degree hemorrhoids.

Aims: The purpose of this study was to evaluate excision and open granulation versus excision and primary closure as treatments for pilonidal sinus. Subjects and methods: We evaluated a group of 141 patients operated on for a pilonidal sinus between 1991 and 1995. Ninety patients were treated by excision and open granulation, 34 patients by excision and primary closure and 17 patients by incision and drainage, as a unique treatment of an infected pilonidal sinus. Results: The first group, receiving treatment of excision and open granulation, experienced the following outcomes: average length of hospital stay, four days; average healing time; 72 days; average number of post-operative ambulatory visits, 40; average off-work delay, 38 days; and average follow-up time, 43 months. There were five recurrences (6%) in this group during the follow-up period. For the second group treated by excision and primary closure, the corresponding outcome measurements were as follows: average length of hospital stay, four days; average healing time, 23 days; primary healing failure rate, 9%; average number of post-operative ambulatory visits, 6; average off-work delay, 21 days. The average follow-up time was 34 months, and two recurrences (6%) were observed during the follow-up period. In the third group, seventeen patients benefited from an incision and drainage as unique treatment. The mean follow-up was 37 months. Five recurrences (29%) were noticed, requiring a new operation in all the cases. Discussion and conclusion: This series of 141 patients is too limited to permit final conclusions to be drawn concerning significant advantages of one form of treatment compared to the other. Nevertheless, primary closure offers the advantages of quicker healing time, fewer post-operative visits and shorter time off work. When a primary closure can be carried out, it should be routinely considered for socio-economical and comfort reasons.
