Hemorrhoidectomy is a surgical procedure used to completely remove large, painful, or advanced hemorrhoids.
It is usually recommended when:
- Piles are very large
- Piles keep coming out and do not go back inside
- There is heavy bleeding
- Other treatments, like medicines or laser surgery, are not suitable
This surgery provides long-term and often permanent relief.
What is Hemorrhoidectomy?
In this procedure, the swollen tissue of the piles is carefully removed from the anal area.
Unlike a laser (which shrinks the piles), hemorrhoidectomy removes them completely from the root.
It is especially helpful for severe or complicated piles cases.
Types of Hemorrhoidectomy
Closed Hemorrhoidectomy
The piles are removed, and the wound is closed with stitches for faster healing.
The best option depends on your condition and examination findings.
Open Hemorrhoidectomy
The piles are removed, and the area is left open to heal naturally.
Who Needs This Surgery?
Hemorrhoidectomy is usually advised if you have:
- Grade 3 or Grade 4 piles
- Large external piles
- Severe pain and swelling
- Frequent bleeding
- Recurrent piles after previous treatment
A proper clinical evaluation will decide if this is the right treatment for you.
