“…3 All conventional surgical methods have aimed only at resecting the prolapsed hemorrhoidal piles. The Longo technique claims to treat the cause of the disease according to a new definition of hemorrhoids.…”

Some cases presenting in this way may represent minor staple-line infection which should resolve rapidly 91 . Several refinements of the original Longo technique have been described to simplify the procedure 92,93 .…”

Comparative study between open (milligan morgan) haemorrhoidectomy and stapled haemorrhoidectomy

“…16 Visual analogue scoring initiated at 12 hours post-operatively following the weaned out effect of spinal anaesthesia. Scores at 24 hours, day 3, day 7, day 15 was significantly low in group B as against group A (Table 10, 11,12,13). The…”

“…12 It has also made the surgery for haemorrhoids more patient friendly. 13 In the present study patients were divided into two groups A and B i.e.…”

“…All studies have been unanimous on this point. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] The most common complication seen in the study was urinary retention. In group A, 5 of 25 patients had retention of urine while in group B, 3 of 25 patients had retention of urine (Table 14).…”
