Minimal Open Hemorrhoidectomy Versus Transanal Hemorrhoidal Dearterialization: The Effect on Symptoms: An Open-Label Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract: BACKGROUND: There is limited evidence on the long-term efficacy of transanal hemorrhoidal dearterialization compared with hemorrhoidectomy. Most studies investigated short-term effects with postoperative pain as the primary outcome. Being a benign disease, the long-term goal of treatment for hemorrhoids is the resolution of symptoms and improvement of quality of life. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of minimal open hemorrh… Show more

“…Hemorrhoidal disease recurrence after 24 months was stable, confirming that recurrence after LA occurs within 12 months and does not increase further. 17 Compared with the current literature, in which residual or recurrent HD after DGHAL ranges between 0 and 20%, 11,12,[15][16][17][18][19]29,[31][32][33][34] the recurrence rate reported in our study is acceptable and justifies LA as a valid surgical option for HD even in grade III. Concerning cost analysis, we highlighted that the total mean institutional costs per patient were much lower in the ambulatory setting.…”

“…Another recent RCT, which compared minimal open hemorrhoidectomy with THD for hemorrhoid grade II, III, and IV, confirmed the long-term results of our trial. 23 The authors did not find any difference in hemorrhoid symptom score between THD and minimal open hemorrhoidectomy at 1-year follow-up. Despite this, the authors described a doubling of office or surgical procedures for recurrence during follow-up in the THD group compared with our results (14% vs 7.7%).…”

“…On the other hand, after 1-3 years of follow-up, the recurrence rate of THD is higher than that of CH [9,10]; however, when mucopexy is added to THD, the recurrence rates are comparable. Their levels of postoperative pain and rate of complications have also been reported as similar [11,12].…”
