Hemorrhoids / Piles Surgery
What is Piles surgery?
Hemorrhoids or Piles Surgery / operation is a procedure to remove hemorrhoids (swollen blood vessels in the anus and rectum). They can be caused by several factors, including constipation, straining during bowel movements, pregnancy, and obesity.
There are several types of piles surgery, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The most common types of piles surgery are Open hemorrhoidectomy, Closed hemorrhoidectomy, Rubber band ligation, Stapled hemorrhoidopexy, Laser hemorrhoidectomy.
The success rate of piles surgery is high. Most people experience relief from their symptoms after surgery. However, there are some risks associated with the procedure, such as infection, bleeding, and pain.

What are the different types of hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoids are classified into two main types: internal hemorrhoids (inside the rectum) and external hemorrhoids (under the skin around the anus). Each type has different symptoms and treatment approaches.
When is surgery recommended for hemorrhoids?
Surgery is typically recommended for Grade 3 and Grade 4 hemorrhoids that don't respond to conservative treatments, cause severe pain, bleeding, or significantly impact quality of life.
What is the recovery time after hemorrhoid surgery?
Recovery time varies depending on the procedure. Most patients return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks for minimally invasive procedures, while traditional surgery may require 2-4 weeks of recovery.
Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in the anus and rectum. They are graded on a scale of 1 to 4, with 1 being the mildest and 4 being the most severe.
- Grade 1 hemorrhoids - These hemorrhoids are internal and do not prolapse outside of the anus. They may cause bleeding, but they are not painful.
- Grade 2 hemorrhoids - These hemorrhoids prolapse outside the anus during bowel movements, but they spontaneously reduce (go back inside the anus). They may cause bleeding and discomfort.
- Grade 3 hemorrhoids - These hemorrhoids prolapse outside the anus during bowel movements and require manual reduction. They may cause bleeding, discomfort, and itching.
- Grade 4 hemorrhoids - These hemorrhoids are constantly prolapsed outside the anus and cannot be reduced manually. They may cause severe bleeding, discomfort, and itching.
The grading of hemorrhoids is important because it helps the gastroenterologist to select the best treatment option. Grade 1 to Grade 2 hemorrhoids can often be treated with conservative measures, such as over-the-counter pain relievers, stool softeners, and sitz baths. Grade 3 to Grade 4 hemorrhoids are severe conditions require surgery.
