Long-Term Results after Excision Haemorrhoidectomy versus Stapled Haemorrhoidopexy for Prolapsing Haemorrhoids A Belgian prospective randomized trial

Abstract

Postoperative pain is less important after PPH. This advantage disappears if any resection is associated with the stapling. At medium to long-term follow-up, PPH seems to carry a higher risk of symptomatic external haemorrhoidal disease, needing further surgery.
