Hemorrhoidectomy may be recommended when conservative treatments have not been effective. Common reasons include: rectal bleeding, pain during bowel movements, itching. Your doctor will evaluate your specific condition through physical examination and diagnostic tests to determine if this surgery is the right option for you.
Common Symptoms:
The swollen veins are tied off or excised. Techniques include excisional hemorrhoidectomy (cutting), stapled hemorrhoidopexy (lifting), or laser ablation (less painful). Spinal or general anesthesia is used.
Before Hemorrhoidectomy: 1) Complete all required pre-operative tests and evaluations, 2) Inform your doctor about all medications and supplements, 3) Follow fasting instructions (typically no food/drink after midnight before surgery), 4) Arrange for transportation and post-operative care at home, 5) Prepare your home for recovery with necessary supplies.
Recovery can be painful for 1-2 weeks. Sitz baths and stool softeners are essential. Most people return to work in 10-14 days.
After Hemorrhoidectomy: 1) Take prescribed medications as directed, 2) Keep the surgical site clean and dry, 3) Watch for signs of infection (increased pain, redness, fever, discharge), 4) Follow activity restrictions and gradually increase activity as advised, 5) Attend all follow-up appointments, 6) Contact your doctor immediately if you experience concerning symptoms.
As with any surgical procedure, Hemorrhoidectomy carries potential risks including bleeding, infection, adverse reaction to anesthesia, blood clots, and procedure-specific complications. Your surgeon will discuss these risks in detail and take all necessary precautions to minimize them.
Note: All surgical procedures carry some level of risk. Your surgeon will discuss specific risks based on your individual health profile.
