Hemorrhoids, commonly known as piles, are swollen veins in the lower rectum and anus that can cause bleeding, pain, itching, and discomfort during bowel movements. Advanced hemorrhoids, especially those that prolapse outside the anus, may require surgical treatment when medicines and lifestyle modifications do not provide relief. Stapler Haemorrhoidectomy in Vasant Kunj is an advanced minimally invasive procedure used to treat prolapsed hemorrhoids with less pain, minimal bleeding, and faster recovery compared to traditional hemorrhoid surgery.

Dr. Sanjay Verma specializes in advanced laparoscopic and colorectal surgery, offering effective treatment options for hemorrhoids using modern surgical techniques. With proper evaluation and personalized treatment planning, patients can achieve long-term relief from piles symptoms and improve their quality of life.

Stapler Haemorrhoidectomy, also known as Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy or Procedure for Prolapse and Hemorrhoids (PPH), works by repositioning the prolapsed hemorrhoidal tissue back to its normal position and reducing its blood supply, causing the hemorrhoids to shrink gradually.

What Is Stapler Haemorrhoidectomy?

Stapler Haemorrhoidectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed using a specialized circular stapling device to treat internal hemorrhoids. Unlike conventional hemorrhoidectomy, where hemorrhoids are cut and removed, stapler surgery lifts the prolapsed hemorrhoidal tissue and reduces blood flow to the hemorrhoids.

The procedure is performed above the sensitive anal region, which helps reduce postoperative pain and allows quicker recovery.

Stapler Haemorrhoidectomy is commonly used for:

• Grade III hemorrhoids
• Grade IV hemorrhoids
• Prolapsed internal hemorrhoids
• Recurrent hemorrhoids
• Hemorrhoids causing persistent bleeding and discomfort

Who May Need Stapler Haemorrhoidectomy?

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

• Large prolapsed internal hemorrhoids
• Grade III piles requiring manual reduction
• Grade IV piles that remain outside the anus
• Persistent bleeding from hemorrhoids
• Severe discomfort during bowel movements
• Failed medical treatment
• Recurrent hemorrhoids after previous treatment
• Difficulty maintaining anal hygiene due to prolapse

A detailed examination helps determine whether stapler surgery is the most suitable option.

Symptoms of Hemorrhoids

Common symptoms of piles include:

• Bright red bleeding during bowel movements
• Pain or discomfort around the anus
• Swelling near the anal opening
• Itching and irritation
• Protrusion of hemorrhoids outside the anus
• Mucus discharge
• Feeling of incomplete bowel evacuation
• Difficulty sitting comfortably
• Burning sensation during bowel movements

Persistent bleeding should always be evaluated by a specialist to rule out other causes.

Causes and Risk Factors of Hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids develop due to increased pressure on the veins of the rectum and anus. Common causes and risk factors include:

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

Healthy bowel habits and lifestyle changes can help reduce symptoms and prevent worsening.

Benefits of Stapler Haemorrhoidectomy

Stapler Haemorrhoidectomy provides several advantages over traditional hemorrhoid surgery:

• Minimally invasive procedure
• Less postoperative pain
• Minimal bleeding
• Smaller surgical area
• Faster recovery
• Shorter hospital stay
• Early return to normal activities
• Reduced need for pain medication
• No large external wounds
• Better patient comfort

How Is Stapler Haemorrhoidectomy Performed?

The procedure is performed under spinal or general anesthesia.

Step 1: Patient Evaluation

Before surgery, the patient undergoes:

• Medical history review
• Physical examination
• Digital rectal examination
• Proctoscopy or anoscopy
• Colonoscopy if required
• Blood tests
• Pre-anesthesia evaluation

This helps determine the severity of hemorrhoids and plan appropriate treatment.

Step 2: Placement of Stapling Device

A circular stapler is inserted through the anal canal. The surgeon removes a small ring of excess rectal lining above the hemorrhoids.

Step 3: Repositioning of Hemorrhoids

The stapling action lifts the prolapsed hemorrhoidal tissue back into its normal position and reduces blood supply, allowing the hemorrhoids to shrink naturally.

Step 4: Completion of Surgery

The surgeon checks for bleeding and ensures proper stapling before completing the procedure.

Recovery After Stapler Haemorrhoidectomy

Recovery after stapler surgery is generally faster compared to traditional hemorrhoid removal.

Patients may experience:

• Mild discomfort for a few days
• Slight bleeding or discharge
• Temporary bowel changes

Recovery usually includes:

• Same-day discharge or short hospital stay
• Early walking after surgery
• High-fiber diet
• Adequate fluid intake
• Stool softeners if advised
• Regular follow-up visits

Most patients return to routine activities within 5–10 days, while complete recovery usually takes around 3–4 weeks.

Diet and Lifestyle After Surgery

To maintain healthy bowel movements after Stapler Haemorrhoidectomy, patients should:

• Eat fiber-rich foods
• Drink sufficient water
• Avoid constipation
• Avoid excessive straining
• Exercise regularly
• Maintain healthy body weight
• Avoid prolonged sitting on the toilet
• Follow postoperative instructions

These measures help improve recovery and reduce the risk of recurrence.
