Actual (reported)This is a quality assurance trial to evaluate the effectiveness of guided breathing exercises on reducing the symptoms of hemorrhoidal disease in colorectal surgery patients. All patients who undergo hemorrhoid surgery are educated on breathing exercises that can be used to reduce pain and increase relaxation. These patients will be surveyed at their post-operative visit regarding pain and other symptoms and at their one month post operative visit on the any hospitalizations and emergency room visits since their surgery.

Actual (reported)Pain scores
The Wong-Baker faces pain score scale which displays 6 faces with scores of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, where 0=no hurt and 10=worst hurt will be used in the pre-operative and post-operative surveys to assess each patient's self reported pain level. the lower the score the more favorable/less pain.
within ~30 days of surgery, at the time of post-operative clinic visit
Utilization of breathing exercises
Response to two questions in the post-operative survey will be used to assess wehether the patient did the breathing exercises after surgery (yes or no) and if they did how man times daily did they do the breathing exercises- \<2, 3-5, or \>5.
within ~30 days of surgery, at the time of post-operative clinic visit
