Hemorrhoidectomy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Excision of hemorrhoid cushions

Hemorrhoidal dearterialization

EXPERIMENTAL

Ligation of therminbal branches oh hemorrhoid arteries

Interventions

Each of the main haemorrhoid is dissected and the apex is ligated and then cut, near to the dentate line

Hemorrhoidectomy

A special instrument (THD, G.F., Medical Division, Correggio, Italy )with an incorporated Doppler probe is used to detected the six terminal branches of the superior rectal artery which are ligated above the dentate line, then a running suture is performed in order to obtain a mucopexy
