How is an operation to remove hemorrhoids? Its types

The most common proctology vascular disease is, of course, hemorrhoids. What is it, and how is an operation to remove hemorrhoids - we learn in our article.

What is hemorrhoids?

The essence of this vascular disease is that the cavernous (cavernous) bodies expand in the rectum. There is a fall out of the anus of the so-called hemorrhoids. Unfortunately, many people do not attach any importance to the symptoms of this disease. As a result, complications occur.

Symptoms of hemorrhoids

Before talking about what methods are used to remove hemorrhoids, let's find out the signs of his appearance:

• The defecation of the blood;
• When emptying or after it there is pain in the anus;
• A constant sensation of not fully emptying the intestine;
• Hemorrhoids drop out;
• There are voluminous formations;
• In the anus, there is always an itch and some discomfort.

Note, if something of the above happens with you, immediately consult a specialist! Timely diagnosis of this disease will solve this problem without prompt intervention.

Surgery to remove hemorrhoids

This happens with the help of two traditional surgical methods:

• By the method of Milligan-Morgan;
• By the method of Longo.

In the first case, the surgeon proceeds to dissecting the internal and external nodes, and in the second - removes some of the mucosa, which is part of the rectum, which is located above the dentate line.

It is worth noting that the operation to remove hemorrhoids in the second method preserves hemorrhoids. This allows them to pull up, which leads to a violation of blood supply. After a while, the nodes begin to be replaced by a connective tissue and, in fact, to decrease in size.

Surgery to remove hemorrhoids by laser

It is worth noting that such treatment can not be attributed to conservative methods of fighting this vascular disease. Moreover, laser coagulation is a worthy alternative to traditional surgical intervention.

Basically, this method is used in the first stages of the disease. This method of removing hemorrhoids can rightfully be called reliable and effective. The point is that laser coagulation is a "scalpel" of the 21st century. It has both a cutting and cauterizing property! As in the Longo method, carried out by the traditional surgical method, a connective tissue will soon appear in place of the removed internal node.

Note that this operation is the most painless in modern proctology.

Finally

In conclusion, I would like to note that the cost of an operation to remove hemorrhoids with a laser is considerable. The price of traditional surgical intervention starts from 20 thousand rubles.

After the operation, it is necessary to strictly follow all preventive measures consisting of proper nutrition with optimization of bowel movements, as well as increased motor activity.
