ABSTRACT
Pain and prolonged postoperative recovery following excisional hemorrhoidectomy have motivated surgeons to search for alternative methods of treating patients with symptomatic hemorrhoidal disease. Stapled hemorrhoidectomy is a relatively new procedure to treat patients suffering from grade 2 to 4 hemorrhoids. It is reported to have less postoperative pain and shorter recovery time than traditional interventions. However, at present there is minimal evidence to support its use as first-line therapy, and long-term efficacy and safety data are lacking.
