BackgroundThe aim of this report is to analyse our results and to underline our criteria for day surgery practice.Patients and methodsOur patients are selected according to ASA criteria. Occasionally, the patients with some risk factors are selected but only when their concomitant diseases are well controlled.ResultsWe have treated 673 patients with the third and early fourth degree haemorrhoids. We have had patients with several minor problems causing no influence on the success of the procedure. Good haemostasis, preventing postoperative bleeding, is the most important factor.ConclusionAmong proctological procedures in haemorrhoid treatment, the PPH technique has firm and well-accepted position even in ambulatory surgery.

We report the first case of prenatal diagnosis in MEB by molecular genetic analysis.
