Hemorrhoid Stapling Buy Hemorrhoid Treatments Online

Hemorrhoid stapling is a relatively new procedure for the removal of hemorrhoids that have prolapsed (protruded out of the anal canal). This procedure utilizes a circular stapling device that, rather than excising the prolapsed tissue, instead excises a band of prolapsed anal tissue above the hemorrhoid. The device pulls in the prolapsed mucous membrane, cuts the redundant tissue with a circular knife, and then fires staples to attach the remaining tissue to the anal wall. Because it is performed in the anal canal, hemorrhoid stapling restores hemorrhoidal tissue to its original to its original anatomical position. There are some notable benefits to hemorrhoid stapling, as well as several (albeit rare) risks:

Benefits of Hemorrhoid Stapling

- this procedure is less painful than many others because surgery is not done at the anus
- patients are able to return to normal activities sooner than those treated with conventional techniques
- the average inpatient stay is lower than with conventional techniques

Risks of Hemorrhoid Stapling

- the rectal wall can be damaged it too much tissue is drawn into the device
- if the internal muscles of the sphincter stretch from insertion of the device, it can cause short- or long-term dysfunction
- rare cases of pelvic sepsis have occurred following hemorrhoid stapling
- if a patient has large, confluent hemorrhoids, there may not be enough room for the stapling device and/or there may be too much tissue to fit into the device
- some patients have reported persistent pain and fecal urgency after hemorrhoid stapling
