Comparative Analysis of Differences and Evolution of Hemorrhoidectomy Techniques

Aim: To review from the literature, in a narrative way, techniques used for hemorrhoidectomy as well as benefits and criticisms about the procedures.

Methodology: For this purpose, a descriptive literary review was carried out for the construction of the work. In view of what is found, it is possible to assess this according to an epidemiological study conducted in the United States.

Results: Hemorrhoid disease is a very common condition, occurring in 4.4% of adults, with a maximum prevalence between 45 and 65 years. The etiology of hemorrhoids is still unknown. Hemorrhoidectomy is believed to be the best treatment option for symptomatic hemorrhoid disease grade III and IV. The techniques used present advantages and disadvantages for the patient, since it will depend on the surgeon to choose the best approach and surgical procedure.

Conclusion: It is observed that more risk and benefit assessments are needed than the technique used in hemorrhoidectomy, based on randomized studies with a significant number of patients included in the study.
