Abstract

ABSTRACT:
Objectices: Haemorrhoids are one of the most common anorectal conditions affecting 50% population over 50 years.
The Milligan-Morgan open haemorrhoidectomy is the most widely used surgical technique and considered as the gold
standard.
Materials and Methods: Circular stapler Haemorrhoidectomy was first described by Lango in 1998 as an alternative
to conventional excisional haemorrhoidectomy. The early small randomized controlled trials of Stapled vs. open haemorrhoidectomy
had shown its effectiveness.
Objective:The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of stapled haemorrhoidectomy with that of Milligan-
Morgan in terms of pain, hospital stay and return to physical activity.
Study design: It was an experimental study.
Material and Methods: This study was conducted in Department of Surgery Khyber Teaching Hospital; Peshawar from
March 2011 till December 2011and spanned over 10 months.
Sample selection: In this study 30 patients were selected with 3rd degree haemorrhoids after undergoing DRE and
proctoscopy in OPD and informed consent was taken. Purposive, non-probability sampling was employed and after
initial selection patients were randomly divided into two groups and complete Performa was filled.
