Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy

Stapled hemorrhoidopexy is a surgical procedure used to treat hemorrhoids, which are swollen veins in the rectal area causing pain, bleeding, or discomfort. During the procedure, a special stapling device is used to lift and secure the hemorrhoids back into their normal position inside the rectum. This technique reduces blood flow to the hemorrhoids, allowing them to shrink and heal. It's known for being less invasive than traditional hemorrhoid surgery, often resulting in less pain and quicker recovery times. Patients typically go home the same day and can return to normal activities relatively soon after the procedure.
