Summary

This study compares two surgical techniques for hemorrhoids: Doppler-guided artery ligation alone versus the same procedure combined with mucopexy (stitching up the prolapsed tissue). Researchers will measure pain levels and the sensation of incomplete evacuation (tenesmus) in 150 adults undergoing surgery. The goal is to determine which approach leads to a smoother recovery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Doppler-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation with or without mucopexy
What this could lead to
If one technique proves less painful, it could become the preferred surgical approach for hemorrhoids, improving recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center study with 150 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Pain is subjective and hard to standardize.
