What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study aims to create and test a new scoring system called HeQAS that uses a microscope to evaluate the technical quality of hemorrhoid removal surgery. Researchers will check if the score is reliable and whether a newer, less invasive surgical method causes less tissue damage than the standard approach. The study involves 80 adults undergoing hemorrhoid surgery at participating hospitals.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this scoring system could help surgeons improve hemorrhoid surgery techniques and reduce patient pain.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study to develop a measurement tool, not a treatment trial. The score may not predict patient outcomes well.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Adult patients undergoing excisional hemorrhoidectomy (either micro-open excisional hemorrhoidectomy or conventional open excisional hemorrhoidectomy) in routine clinical practice at the participating centers, whose surgical specimens and clinical data are available for standardized histopathological assessment and follow-up, according to the study protocol.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients undergoing excisional hemorrhoidectomy (micro-open excisional hemorrhoidectomy or conventional open excisional hemorrhoidectomy) at the participating centers. Availability of the surgical specimen with adequate histopathological preservation for standardized processing and HeQAS assessment. Availability of routine clinical follow-up data required for outcome assessment (pain, complications, and 12-month clinical status). Exclusion Criteria: Surgical specimens with inadequate fixation, autolysis, or fragmentation that preclude reliable histopathological assessment according to the protocol. Incidental diagnosis of malignancy (carcinoma) in the surgical specimen. Intraoperative change of surgical technique that prevents clear assignment to one cohort (micro-open excisional hemorrhoidectomy or conventional open excisional hemorrhoidectomy). Prior use of the same specimen in the methodological validation study (Study 1) of HeQAS. \-
