Comparison of Doppler Guided Hemorrhoid Artery Ligation and Milligan Morgan Hemorrhoidectomy in Management of Hemorrhoidal Disease

comparison of doppler guided hemorrhoid artery ligation and milligan morgan hemorrhoidectomy in management of hemorrhoidal disease

conclusions doppler-guided hemorrhoid artery ligation is a safe and easy method for treating hemorrhoidal disease, but its results should be interpreted carefully, especially in grade iv of the disease. patients and methods one hundred patients were enrolled in this study and divided randomly into two groups of fifty patients. each group either underwent the milligan-morgan procedure or the dop...

Doppler-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation: an alternative to hemorrhoidectomy.

PURPOSE Postoperative pain is the main adverse effect of formal hemorrhoidectomy. A new technique based on Doppler-guided ligation of the terminal branches of the superior hemorrhoidal artery was introduced in 1995 as an alternative to hemorrhoidectomy. The authors report a preliminary experience with this procedure. METHODS The Doppler-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation technique uses a spe...

Milligan-Morgan Hemorrhoidectomy vs Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy

BACKGROUND The stapled hemorrhoidopexy (SH) is a procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids . At first SH seemed to be a good alternative for the Milligan Morgan (MM) hemorrhoidectomy and preliminary results in early 2000 confirmed it. However, further studies and evaluation of long-term results showed poorer outcomes. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate and compare the results of these 2 sur...

Doppler-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation in the management of symptomatic hemorrhoids.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to clinically test the efficacy of a new approach for patients having symptomatic grade III and IV hemorrhoids. MATERIAL AND METHOD 32 patients (17 females) complaining of grade III or IV hemorrhoids were included in the study. A specially designed proctoscope coupled with a Doppler transducer on its tip was used to identify the hemorrhoidal arteries, which ...
