Procedure
At KIMS-Sunshine Hospitals, we offer advanced hemorrhoidectomy procedures tailored to treat severe cases of haemorrhoids that have not responded to less invasive treatments. Our team employs several types of hemorrhoidectomy, each designed to address different types and severities of hemorrhoidal conditions. Here’s a breakdown of the options available:
- Conventional Hemorrhoidectomy (Excisional Hemorrhoidectomy): This is the most common surgical option for treating large, painful external and internal haemorrhoids. During this procedure, the surgeon removes the swollen tissue using surgical instruments.Â
- Stapled Hemorrhoidectomy (Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy): Stapled hemorrhoidectomy is a less painful and quicker recovery option than traditional methods. Instead of removing the haemorrhoids, this procedure repositions them by stapling the prolapsed tissue back into place, cutting off the blood supply, causing them to shrink. It is ideal for:
- Laser Hemorrhoidectomy: In this minimally invasive approach, a precise laser beam is used to vaporise or excise the haemorrhoids. This technique causes less tissue damage, minimal bleeding, and a quicker healing process. It’s suitable for:
- Rubber Band Ligation Hemorrhoidectomy: This is a less invasive option where a rubber band is placed around the base of the hemorrhoid, cutting off its blood supply and causing it to wither away.
Who is this procedure for?
A hemorrhoidectomy is ideal for individuals who suffer from severe or chronic haemorrhoids that haven’t responded to non-surgical treatments like dietary changes, medications, or minimally invasive procedures. This procedure is recommended for patients experiencing persistent symptoms such as painful swelling, bleeding, or discomfort during bowel movements. If your haemorrhoids are causing significant disruption to your daily life or complications like thrombosis or prolapse, a hemorrhoidectomy offers a long-term solution for relief. Our expert team evaluates each case to determine if this treatment is the right option for your specific condition.
Why Choose a Haemorrhoidectomy?
Choosing a hemorrhoidectomy at KIMS-Sunshine Hospitals offers lasting relief for those dealing with chronic, severe haemorrhoids. If other treatments such as medications or lifestyle changes haven’t provided relief, this surgical procedure is the most effective option to eliminate haemorrhoids and prevent them from recurring. Our expert surgical team uses advanced techniques that minimise discomfort and speed up recovery, ensuring you can return to daily activities with ease.
By opting for a hemorrhoidectomy, you’re choosing a solution that addresses the root cause of your discomfort. Whether you’re experiencing persistent pain, bleeding, or prolapsed haemorrhoids, our specialised care will help you regain comfort and improve your overall quality of life. KIMS-Sunshine Hospitals is committed to providing a personalised, patient-centred approach, ensuring you receive the best care tailored to your needs.
Understanding the Risks
While a hemorrhoidectomy at KIMS-Sunshine Hospitals is a highly effective treatment for severe haemorrhoids, it’s important to understand the potential risks involved, as with any surgical procedure. Possible complications include infection at the surgical site, bleeding, or difficulty with bowel movements during the initial recovery period. Some patients may experience pain or discomfort following the surgery, which can be managed with prescribed medications.
There is also a small risk of urinary retention, or difficulty urinating, after the procedure. In rare cases, narrowing of the anal canal (known as anal stricture) can occur. However, at KIMS-Sunshine Hospitals, our experienced surgeons take every precaution to minimise these risks and provide comprehensive post-operative care to ensure a smooth recovery. By choosing our expert team, you are in safe hands, with a focus on achieving optimal results and long-term relief from hemorrhoid discomfort.
Post-Surgery Recovery
At KIMS-Sunshine Hospitals, we ensure a smooth recovery process after your hemorrhoidectomy. Here’s what you can expect:
- Initial Rest: You may experience mild discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain relievers. Rest is key during the first few days.
- Diet Adjustments: Start with a fibre-rich diet and plenty of fluids to ease bowel movements and prevent straining.
- Activity: Light movement is encouraged, but avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities for at least 1-2 weeks.
- Follow-Up Care: Regular follow-up appointments will help monitor your healing process and address any concerns.
- Full Recovery: Most patients return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks, with significant relief from hemorrhoid symptoms.
Our team will provide personalised guidance and support to ensure a fast and successful recovery.
