Abstract :

Objective : To evaluate the clinical outcome of our patients who underwent hemorrhoidopexy without stapler due to hemorrhoidal disease, and discuss in accompaniment with the literature. Materials and Methods : The patients, who were diagnosed with 3rd and 4th degree hemorrhoidal disease and underwent hem¬orrhoidopexy without stapler between January 2014 and October 2014 were included. They were evaluated for postoperative morbidity, analgesic requirement, and recurrence. Results : Sixty percent were males and the mean age was 42 (range 24–60) years. The mean operative time was 60 (40– 80) min. The mean parenteral analgesic doses during the first 36 h were 3. All patients received oral analgesics alone after 24 h. No significant postoperative morbidity was observed. The mean in–patient hospital stay was 2 (1–3) days. Patients were followed–up for 12 (range, 7–18) months. Two patients complained of bleeding on the first two postoperative periods. One patient complained of pain and one patient complained of tenesmus in the followup period. No recurrence of hemorrhoids was seen. Conclusion : The patients can return to their daily activities early with hemorrhoidopexy because of less pain and quick recovery period. We consider that appropriate patient selection is important in the success of this method. Without stapler we are attaining the positive results similar to that of stapled hemorrhoidopexy procedure. And it is very much cost effective as compared to stapled hemorrhoidopexy
