Longo procedure (Stapled hemorrhoidopexy): Indications, results

Partial Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy Versus Circular Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy

A stapled hemorrhoidopexy (SH) is a recently rising therapy and is widely performed. Side effects, such as anal stenosis, rectal stenosis, and fecal urgency, have been continuously associated with the practical uses of the SH, despite its having many advantages [1-4], including remarkably decreased anal pain after surgery, shortened recovery periods, and faster resumption of normal activities, ...

Long- and Short-term Results of Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy

has been widely accepted as the main surgical treatment of hemorrhoids for a long history, but it is notorious for the level of post operative pain the patient must endure, coupled with a long recuperation period. Stapled hemorrhoidopexy was presented as a procedure for prolapsed hemorrhoids (PPH) in 1998 by Longo. From the view points of lesser post operative pain and short recuperation period...

First severe complication described after Longo hemorrhoidopexy.

The tissue-selecting technique: segmental stapled hemorrhoidopexy.

We describe a technique for the management of prolapsing hemorrhoids, with the aim to minimize the risk of anal stricture and rectovaginal fistula and to reduce the impact of the stapling technique on rectal compliance. This modified procedure was successfully applied in China, and preliminary data showed promising outcomes (see Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, http://links.lww.com/DCR/A1...

Milligan-Morgan Hemorrhoidectomy vs Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy

BACKGROUND The stapled hemorrhoidopexy (SH) is a procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids . At first SH seemed to be a good alternative for the Milligan Morgan (MM) hemorrhoidectomy and preliminary results in early 2000 confirmed it. However, further studies and evaluation of long-term results showed poorer outcomes. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate and compare the results of these 2 sur...
