Randomized Controlled Trial of LigaSure with Submucosal Dissection versus Ferguson Hemorrhoidectomy for Prolapsed Hemorrhoids

Abstract: LigaSure hemorrhoidectomy with submucosal dissection is a safe, effective procedure for grade III and IV hemorrhoids. Patients derive greater short-term benefits: reduced intraoperative blood loss, operating time, and postoperative pain as well as earlier resumption of work or normal activity. Long-term follow-up with a larger number of patients is required to confirm the long-term results of this procedure.

“…10,11 Comparing early complication rates, nine cases in conventional hemorrhoidectomy method (5 bleeding and 4 acute urinary retention) and five cases in the vessel sealing group (2 bleeding, 2 urinary retention and 1 perianal abscess) These patients were managed conservatively and there was no need for redo surgery. These findings are in consistent with the studies of Filingeri et al and Wang et al 12,13 Our findings reveals that there was no difference in the time required for the first bowel movement and in hospital stay between two groups which is in accordance with Gentile et al, study which concluded that there was no difference in hospital stay since patients were discharged 24±2 hours after the operation in both groups, and delayed discharges were registered in two cases of each group (III postoperative day) due to minor bleeding (2 conventional vs 1 vessel seal hemorrhoidectomy) and acute urinary retention (1 vessel seal hemorrhoidectomy) (P = 1 NS). 9 In our experience only one case of anal stenosis was detected and the incidence seems to be in line with the data of the literature (4-5%).…”

“…However, we were not able to confirm these favorable results as reported in previous published studies [5,8,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Most of these laparoscopic studies involved bowel surgery and compared LigaSure with ultrasonic devices [8,16,19,20].…”

“…Pain following hemorrhoidectomy is a common occurrence, and studies have evaluated the use of LigaSure in hemorrhoidectomy [69][70][71][72][73][74]. In a Cochrane Review comparing conventional hemorrhoidectomy to LigaSure, there was a trend for less pain and a lower incidence of complications associated with LigaSure, but most results were not significantly different [71].…”
