Internal Sphincterotomy With Hemorrhoidectomy Does Not Relieve Pain

Abstract: Results showed no difference in the perception of pain after hemorrhoidectomy in patients who had an internal sphincterotomy compared with those who did not. Both groups were equally likely to have difficulty with control of gas and soiling.

“…Galiza et al [14] showed significant differences in the pain scores and the analgesic requirements between the two groups. Conversely, Khubchandani reported no statistical difference in the postoperative pain in each of the two groups at 4 h and 4 days after surgery [6]. Mathai, who performed the same clinical trial among 33 patients, reported similar results and claimed that a sphincterotomy increases significantly the risk of postoperative incontinence [15].…”

“…The exact aetiopathology of post-operative pain after haemorrhoidectomy has not been defined yet, although hypertonia of internal anal sphincter (IAS) is widely believed to be the major contributor. Another contributing factor may be the manipulation of the sensitive anoderm, which may activate the somatic pain receptors [4,6]. Eisenhammer was the first to propagate the idea that post-haemorrhoidectomy pain is due to the spasm of the internal sphincter and described that its division through one of the hemorrhoid wounds is certainly an effective way to lessen post-operative pain.…”

“…Desta forma, a esfincterotomia associada à hemorroidectomia tem sido proposta para reduzir este aumento da pressão anal, podendo, inclusive, diminuir as complicações pós-operatórias (dor, retenção urinária, estenose) 12,34,35 . Alguns autores consideram que hemorroidectomia isolada normaliza as pressões anais, uma vez que estas estariam aumentadas devido à presença dos coxins vasculares, e que a esfincterotomia, além de ser desnecessária, poderia causar incontinência anal 34,36 . No presente estudo observou-se que 85% dos pacientes portadores de doença hemorroidária apresentavam pressões anais aumentadas.…”

“…Na gênese da dor após hemorroidectomia a causa não é bem definida, podendo ser relacionada ao espasmo do esfincter interno do ânus e talvez também do esfincter externo , sendo que a dor intensa no momento da evacuação poderia manter o espasmo (2,3,4 …”
