Updates of surgical treatment in hemorrhoidal disease

Abstract

Hemorrhoidal disease is one of the most prevalent and frequently occurring conditions worldwide. Treatment modalities for hemorrhoids are multifaceted and tailored according to the severity of the condition. Various surgical procedures and modified approaches had been invented since 1937. Here we review the workflow, advantages, and disadvantages of different types of hemorrhoid surgery (conventional excisional hemorrhoidectomy, modified excisional surgery, stapled/partial stapled hemorrhoidopexy, and Doppler-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation). There is no single treatment that fits all hemorrhoid patients. Surgeons should make the operation plan based on patients' conditions and wills.
