Summary

This study looked at 90 adults with severe prolapsed hemorrhoids to compare three surgical techniques: traditional surgery, a stapling device, and a vessel-sealing device. The main goal was to measure pain after surgery and track complications like bleeding or urine retention. The findings could help doctors choose the best option for faster, less painful recovery.
