Key result
Stapled haemorrhoidectomy resulted in lower average pain scores on postoperative day 1 (3.8 vs 5.6 for open and 5.4 for closed) and a shorter hospital stay (1.5 vs 5.8 and 6.2 days).
Why the study?
Does stapled haemorrhoidectomy improve postoperative pain and recovery time compared to open or closed haemorrhoidectomy in patients with haemorrhoids?
Cohort (n=50)
Does stapled haemorrhoidectomy improve postoperative pain and recovery time compared to open or closed haemorrhoidectomy in patients with haemorrhoids?
Absolute Event Rate: 3.8% vs 5.6%
Stapled haemorrhoidectomy is associated with less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, and earlier return to work compared to conventional open or closed haemorrhoidectomy, though conventional methods remain more cost-effective.
Stapled haemorrhoidectomy may reduce early pain and hospital stay; leaves open superiority versus conventional techniques without randomized confirmation.
