NCT02554123

Brief Summary

A prospective ranfomized clinical study of patients undergoing Milligan Morgan´s haemorrhoidectomy at Hospital Universitario Rey Juan Carlos (Móstoles-Spain) will be performed. The patients will be randomized into 2 groups:

  • Experimental group (EG): Patients undergoing Milligan Morgan´s procedure and application of Vitamin E ointment on the surgical bed.
  • Control group (CG): Patients undergoing Milligan Morgan´s procedure and application of Vaseline on the surgical bed. Postoperative pain determined by VAS at the 1st, 3rd and 7th postoperative days, and need for morphine rescue will be investigated.
