Stapler Hemorrhoidopexy

This procedure is also called as stapled hemorrhoidectomy or stapled hemorrhoidopexy. Stapler Hemorrhoidopexy is mainly used for the treatment of internal hemorrhoids. This procedure is performed to block blood flow to hemorrhoidal tissue.

Procedure of Hemorrhoidopexy

  • A laparoscopic surgeon performs physical examination of patient and a Patient is given general anesthesia.
  • Laparoscopic surgeon inserts a hollow, circular tube into the patient’s anal canal and a suture is placed circumferentially within the anal canal above the internal hemorrhoids.
  • Then the ends of the suture are taken out of the anus through the hollow tube. In this surgery, a Stapler device is used. The stapler is a disposable surgical instrument with a circular stapling device is attached at the end.
  • This stapler device is placed through the first hollow tube and the ends of the suture are pulled. After pulling the suture pulls, the expanded hemorrhoidal supporting tissue comes into the jaws of the stapler. The hemorrhoidal cushions are then pulled back up into their normal position within the anal canal
  • When the stapler fires, it cutsoff the circumferential ring of expanded hemorrhoidal tissue which is trapped within the stapler and at the same time staples together the upper and lower edges of the cut tissue.
  • Stapled hemorrhoidectomy is faster than traditional hemorrhoidectomy and takes approximately 30 minutes.

Stapler Hemorrhoidopexy has various benefits over traditional Hemorrhoidopexy such as less pain and faster recovery. In case of any complications, patient should inform surgeon immediately. Patient should also avoid heavy activities for quicker and healthy recovery.
