Hemorrhoids, commonly known as piles, are swollen blood vessels in the anal canal that can cause pain, bleeding, itching, and discomfort during bowel movements. While mild hemorrhoids can often be managed with lifestyle changes and medications, advanced or prolapsed hemorrhoids may require surgical treatment. Stapler Haemorrhoidectomy in Vasant Kunj is an advanced minimally invasive procedure designed to treat Grade III and Grade IV hemorrhoids with less pain, minimal bleeding, and quicker recovery compared to conventional hemorrhoid surgery. Dr. Sanjay Verma specializes in advanced laparoscopic and colorectal surgery, offering modern, patient-focused treatment for hemorrhoids using the latest surgical techniques.

Stapler Haemorrhoidectomy, also known as Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy or the Procedure for Prolapse and Hemorrhoids (PPH), restores the normal position of prolapsed hemorrhoids while reducing their blood supply, allowing them to shrink naturally.

What Is Stapler Haemorrhoidectomy?

Stapler Haemorrhoidectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed using a specially designed circular stapling device. Instead of removing the hemorrhoids directly, the procedure removes a small ring of excess tissue above the hemorrhoids, pulling them back into their normal position and reducing their blood supply.

Since the surgery is performed above the sensitive pain-producing area of the anal canal, patients generally experience significantly less postoperative pain than with traditional hemorrhoidectomy.

Who May Need Stapler Haemorrhoidectomy?

Dr. Sanjay Verma may recommend Stapler Haemorrhoidectomy for patients with:

• Grade III hemorrhoids
• Grade IV hemorrhoids
• Prolapsed internal hemorrhoids
• Recurrent bleeding hemorrhoids
• Persistent anal discomfort
• Chronic hemorrhoids not responding to medications
• Multiple internal hemorrhoids
• Difficulty maintaining hygiene due to prolapse
• Recurrent hemorrhoids affecting daily activities

Each patient undergoes a detailed evaluation to determine the most suitable treatment option.

Symptoms of Hemorrhoids

Common symptoms include:

• Bright red bleeding during bowel movements
• Prolapsed hemorrhoids
• Pain while passing stools
• Itching around the anus
• Swelling near the anal opening
• Mucus discharge
• Feeling of incomplete bowel emptying
• Anal irritation
• Difficulty sitting comfortably
• Recurrent discomfort after bowel movements

Early diagnosis helps prevent complications and provides better treatment outcomes.

Causes and Risk Factors

Hemorrhoids may develop due to:

• Chronic constipation
• Repeated straining during bowel movements
• Low-fiber diet
• Pregnancy
• Obesity
• Prolonged sitting
• Chronic diarrhea
• Heavy lifting
• Aging
• Family history of hemorrhoids

Maintaining healthy bowel habits can help reduce the risk of developing hemorrhoids.

Benefits of Stapler Haemorrhoidectomy

Stapled hemorrhoid surgery offers several advantages over conventional surgery:

• Minimally invasive procedure
• Less postoperative pain
• Minimal bleeding
• Shorter hospital stay
• Faster recovery
• Quicker return to work
• Reduced need for pain medications
• No large external wounds
• Improved patient comfort
• Effective treatment for prolapsed hemorrhoids

How Is Stapler Haemorrhoidectomy Performed?

The procedure is performed under general or spinal anesthesia.

Step 1: Comprehensive Evaluation

Before surgery, patients undergo:

• Medical history and physical examination
• Digital rectal examination
• Proctoscopy or anoscopy
• Colonoscopy if indicated
• Blood investigations
• Cardiac and anesthesia fitness assessment

Step 2: Surgical Procedure

A specially designed circular stapling device is inserted into the anal canal. The surgeon removes a ring of excess rectal mucosa located above the hemorrhoids.

This simultaneously:

• Repositions the prolapsed hemorrhoids
• Reduces blood flow to the hemorrhoidal tissue
• Fixes the hemorrhoids in their normal anatomical position

Step 3: Completion of Surgery

The stapled area is carefully examined to ensure proper healing and bleeding control before the procedure is completed.

Step 4: Recovery

Patients are monitored after surgery and receive pain management, dietary advice, and bowel care instructions before discharge.

Recovery After Stapler Haemorrhoidectomy

Recovery is generally faster than conventional hemorrhoid surgery.

Recovery usually includes:

• Day-care procedure or 1-day hospital stay
• Mild postoperative discomfort
• Early walking after surgery
• Return to a soft, high-fiber diet
• Adequate hydration
• Stool softeners if required
• Regular follow-up appointments

Most patients resume normal daily activities within 5–10 days, while complete healing generally occurs within 3–4 weeks.

Lifestyle and Postoperative Care

Following surgery, patients are encouraged to:

• Eat a high-fiber diet
• Drink at least 2–3 liters of water daily
• Avoid constipation and straining
• Exercise regularly
• Avoid prolonged sitting on the toilet
• Maintain a healthy body weight
• Take prescribed medications
• Attend scheduled follow-up visits

These healthy habits help reduce the risk of recurrence and promote long-term bowel health.
