ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at two different approaches to treating hemorrhoids during surgery. Specifically, it compares a procedure called lateral internal sphincterotomy, which involves cutting a small portion of muscle to help with healing, against not using this technique during hemorrhoid removal surgery (hemorrhoidectomy). The goal is to see which method works better for patients with more severe cases of hemorrhoids, known as 2nd, 3rd, and 4th degree piles.

To be part of this study, patients need to be at least 18 years old and must be scheduled for a hemorrhoidectomy. However, those with less severe hemorrhoids (1st degree), those who also have anal fissures, patients over 70 years old, or those who are not fit for surgery cannot participate. If you join the trial, you will be closely monitored during your surgery and recovery, allowing researchers to gather important information on how well each method works. This study is currently recruiting participants of all genders, and it aims to help improve treatment options for people suffering from hemorrhoids.
