Hemorrhoid surgery showdown: less pain with minimally invasive approach?
NCT ID NCT06764849
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study planned to compare a minimally invasive version of open hemorrhoidectomy to the standard technique in adults with grade III hemorrhoids. The goal was to see if the newer approach causes less pain after surgery. However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.

- Minimally invasive open excisional hemorrhoidectomy (surgical procedure)
- What this could lead to
- If it had succeeded, this could have pointed toward a less painful surgical option for treating grade III hemorrhoids.
- What could go wrong
