New hemorrhoid surgery could offer better relief for severe cases
NCT ID NCT07495046
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This trial tests a new surgical technique called low excision and high suspension hemorrhoidectomy against the standard Milligan-Morgan procedure for people with severe grade III-IV mixed hemorrhoids. The study will include 120 adults who have not improved with other treatments. Researchers will check how well the surgery works at 12 weeks and whether hemorrhoids come back within a year.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Low Excision and High Suspension Hemorrhoidectomy (surgical procedure)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this new surgical technique could offer a more effective and less recurrent treatment option for severe mixed hemorrhoids.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 120 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Surgery always carries risks like bleeding or infection, and the new method may not prove better than the standard one.
