      What is Non-Resectional Haemorrhoidal Surgery?

      Hemorrhoids are a common condition, causing discomfort, itching, and bleeding. While traditional surgery involves cutting and removing the affected tissue, non-resectional techniques have emerged as an effective, less invasive alternative. But how do these procedures work, and what are their benefits?

      Key Points on Non-Resectional Hemorrhoidal Surgery:

      • Less Invasive: Non-resectional procedures focus on minimizing tissue damage. Instead of cutting or removing hemorrhoids, these techniques target the blood flow or cushion management, helping to reduce the pain and recovery time.
      • Types of Non-Resectional Procedures:
      1. Doppler-Guided Hemorrhoidal Artery Ligation (DGHAL): This method uses Doppler ultrasound to locate and tie off the blood vessels feeding the hemorrhoid. By cutting off the blood supply, the hemorrhoid shrinks over time.
      2. Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy (PPH): In this technique, a circular stapler is used to reposition the hemorrhoidal tissue back into its normal position and cut off its blood supply. It is less painful than traditional surgery and allows faster recovery.
      3. Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP): LHP uses laser energy to shrink the hemorrhoids. It’s a precise method that causes minimal trauma to surrounding tissues, leading to a quicker healing process.
      • Faster Recovery: Since no significant tissue is removed, patients usually experience less post-operative pain and return to normal activities sooner.
      • Lower Risk of Complications: The non-resectional approach reduces the risk of common complications such as excessive bleeding, infection, lower risk of anal stenosis or incontinence associated with traditional surgery. 
      • Fewer Recurrences: These techniques have proven to be effective, with a lower recurrence rate when compared to conservative treatments or older surgical methods.

      In conclusion, non-resectional hemorrhoidal surgery offers a patient-friendly option for those seeking relief from hemorrhoids with less downtime and discomfort.
