Conventional hemorrhoidectomy provides permanent symptomatic relief for most patients, and effectively treats any external component of the hemorrhoids. However, the wounds created by the surgery are usually associated with considerable post-operative pain which necessitates a prolonged recovery period.
Hemorrhoidal artery embolization (HAE, or hemorrhoid artery embolization) is a non-surgical treatment of internal hemorrhoids. [ 1 ] The procedure involves blocking the abnormal blood flow to the rectal (hemorrhoidal) arteries using microcoils and/or microparticles to decrease the size of the hemorrhoids and improve hemorrhoid related symptoms ...
Excisional hemorrhoidectomy is a surgical excision of the hemorrhoid used primarily only in severe cases. [1] It is associated with significant postoperative pain and usually requires two to four weeks for recovery. [1] However, the long-term benefit is greater in those with grade III hemorrhoids as compared to rubber band ligation. [45]
The hemorrhoid will shrink and fibrose within a few days with shriveled hemorrhoidal tissue and band falling off during normal bowel movements - likely without the patient noticing. [ 3 ] Rubber band ligation is a popular procedure for the treatment of hemorrhoids, as it involves a much lower risk of pain than surgical treatments of hemorrhoids ...
A sitz bath or hip bath is a bathtub in which a person sits in water up to the hips. [1] It is used to relieve discomfort and pain in the lower part of the body, for example, due to hemorrhoids (piles), anal fissures, perianal fistulas, rectal surgery, an episiotomy, uterine cramps, inflammatory bowel disease, pilonidal cysts and infections of the bladder, prostate or vagina.
A video telescope (fistuloscope) to allow surgeons to see inside the fistula tract. A unipolar electrode for diathermy of the internal tract. This is connected to a high frequency generator. A fistula brush and forceps for cleaning the tract and clearing any granulation tissue. The VAAFT procedure is done in two phases, diagnostic and operative.

A common anorectal surgery that utilizes pudendal anesthesia is a hemorrhoidectomy. A pudendal nerve block provides a longer duration of pain relief versus the use of superficial local anesthetic or even spinal anesthesia. It also may reduce opioid consumption, shorten hospital stay, and have fewer adverse effects like nausea and vomiting. [11]
