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 However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

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

The trial was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no data were collected. Even if conducted, the small size and early phase would limit generalizability.
