7.3 Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy (Procedure forProlapsed Hemorrhoids: PPH)
circular anal dilator (CAD) with an obturator is
introduced into the anal canal. This causes a
reduction of hemorrhoidal prolapse into the rectum. After removing the obturator, an anoscope is
introduced through this dilator, pushing back the
prolapsing mucosa against the rectal wall along a
circumference of 270°. The mucous membrane
that protrudes through an anoscope window is
held with the help of a stitch. The anoscope is
gradually rotated through the entire rectal circumference, 4 cm higher than the dentate line

pleting a “purse-string” suture. The purse-string
suture includes mucosa and submucosa. One
should ensure that the purse string is complete
and there are no gaps. A PPH 01/03 stapler is
then unfolded to its extreme limit and inserted
with the opened stapler head. This purse-string is
then tied with one throw knot. Both suture ends
are externally tied or are clamped with forceps.
Along the anal canal axis, the stapler is aligned
and closed, keeping a normal amount of tension
on the string. The stapler is closed at the end and
kept in place for a minute to reduce the interstitial
edema. A nger is passed into the vagina in a
female patient to check the posterior vaginal wall
and ensure this is not incorporated into the purse
string. The stapler is red, releasing a row of double staggered titanium staples through the tissue.
The tissue is excised using a circular stapler
knife, and the mucosa is removed circumferentially. The stapler device is removed by opening
the head. One should be very careful and inspect
the stapler line to check if there is any bleeding.
In the presence of bleeding, the bleeding area is
reinforced with a gure of eight stitch using an
absorbable suture. Some surgeons use spongostan to maintain hemostasis.
The donut is checked to ensure that it contains
a 2-cm wide rectal mucosa strip [9, 11, 13].
7.3.6 Results
The procedure has a recurrence rate of 25.6–
53.3% [14] (Table7.2).
7.3.7 Complications
Many severe complications have been reported
following stapled hemorrhoidopexy, including
perforation peritonitis, rectal obstruction, fecal
urgency, postoperative pain, rectovaginal stula,
urinary retention, and pelvic sepsis [16]. The incidence of complications reported by various authors
has been mentioned in Tables 7.3, 7.4, and 7.5.
The pain was severe in a few studies, with persistent anal pain and a visual analog score higher than
7 [23]. This procedure should be painless, as the
donut is removed above the dentate line.

suture is taken 0.5–1 cm apart and is double
locked to prevent the purse-string effect. The
suture is carried out around the complete cir-
cumference of the rectal wall at the same level.

stay, bleeding, complications, and pain. No
continence impairment and recurrence were
reported. However, long-term results are still
awaited [33].
7.6 Superior Hemorrhoidal
Artery Embolization
Described rst in 2014 by Vidal etal., this procedure aims at occluding the blood ow in the hemorrhoidal arteries [34].
7.6.1 Principle
The principle is occlusion of the blood ow to the
hemorrhoidal tissue following the “emborrhoid”
method (embolization of hemorrhoidal arteries)
by placing coils in the terminal branches of superior hemorrhoidal arteries [34, 35].
7.6.2 Indications
Grade 1 and 2 hemorrhoids.
7.6.3 Technique
The embolization is carried out via the right
femoral route. A 5F introducer sheath is
inserted using a Simmon catheter, and the
inferior mesenteric artery is catheterized. By
using a rapid transit microcatheter, the superior rectal arteries are catheterized. The coils
used for the embolization are pushable
microcoils (0.018) [34].
In 2020, the “Spaghetti technique” was proposed by Giurazza using oversized coils, which
were released in a stretched manner in patients
showing signs of hemorrhoidal bleeding and portal hypertension. This method helps avoid sudden
blocking of the vessels and uses only a small
amount of coils [36].
7.6.4 Results
The success rate is between 90% to 100%. In
grade 3 and 4 hemorrhoids, there is no role for
embolization. The long-term results are awaited
[36].
7.7 Discussion
The basic principle in all minimally invasive procedures is “Dearterialization.” However, the recurrence rate is greater after PPH and DGHAL.Several
technical factors may be accountable for the
recurrence.
By ligating the distal branches of a superior
hemorrhoidal artery and xing prolapsed hemorrhoids, the DGHAL procedure blocks blood ow
in the distal branches of the superior rectal artery.
A doppler allows for accurate localization of
artery branches in the rectal wall [3].
The terminal branches of the superior rectal
arteries become thin (0.6–2mm) and supercial
(2mm deep), roughly 2–3cm above the dentate
line [37, 38]. Because there are no interpositions
of capillaries between the hemorrhoidal plexus
and the arterial system, these terminal branches
may be responsible for blood overow into hemorrhoidal tissue [38].
Suture ligations are carried out about 1 cm
above a point where an arterial pulse is found
using a doppler [37–39]. The creation of collaterals in a short period may be linked to the high
recurrence rate [33].
The branching pattern of the superior hemorrhoidal artery is not constant in every patient.
One-third of the individuals surveyed had one
artery in an even-numbered clock position [37].
As a result, localization with a doppler is used to
pinpoint the arteries appropriately [37]. DGHAL
has a higher recurrence rate of roughly 12% for
follow-ups of more than 12months and 5.3–6.7%
for follow-ups of less than 12months [24, 40].
Finger-Guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation
(FGHAL) is gaining popularity because it has

similar results to DGHAL [41]. Although
DGHAL is a simple procedure, the cost can be
substantial. Identication of vessels with a nger
is comparable to doppler detection in studies,
casting doubt on the utility of Doppler for vascular localization.
Stapled hemorrhoidectomy is a well-known
procedure devised as an alternative to traditional
hemorrhoidectomy. It interrupts the branches of
SHA, and the hemorrhoidal masses are restored
to their anatomic position [42]. The PPH procedure reduces prolapsed tissue but not hemorrhoids since the hemorrhoidal tissue is not
removed; instead, it is left to regress over time.
The procedure does not entirely dearterialize the
cushions. According to Aigner [37], reaching the
postero-lateral “branches of the superior hemorrhoidal artery,” which are too high and too deep,
is difcult. Furthermore, except for the submucosal branches, the other branches, such as the
transmural and intramural branches, cannot be
ligated. Only mucosectomy and auto suturing are
performed in stapled hemorrhoidopexy [33].
Following PPH, studies have suggested
chronic discomfort of unknown etiology.
According to research, 15.1% of surgeons have
seen patients in severe pain for months, and 2.4%
have had patients in agonizing pain for years
[43]. Chronic pain has been associated with
brosis surrounding staples and direct trauma to
the pudendal and sacral spindles of the nerve by
staples [42, 43]. According to Ielpo et al. [44],
over 1.59% of patients experienced chronic pain
up to 7 months after PPH, which could only be
eased by removing the staples.
In transanal suture rectopexy, “the transxation of the mucosa and submucosa is done with
the internal sphincter, which prevents prolapse of
the anal cushion” [33]. The vessels are blocked at
2 and 4cm, decreasing the risk of collaterals and
recurrences [33].
The goal of superior hemorrhoidal artery
embolization is to “occlude the superior rectal
arteries” by an endovascular procedure. Selective
embolization, the absence of direct damage to
the anorectal region, and the preservation of anal
cushions are all potential benets of the endo-
vascular technique [34, 35]. As a result, optimal
outcomes could be obtained with minimal morbidity. The long-term benets are still unknown
[34, 35].
DGHAL itself is ineffective at controlling
hemorrhoid prolapse and may require additional
surgical procedures like mucopexy in some cases
[45].
Despite the benets of minimally invasive
procedures, such as reduced postoperative discomfort and a quicker return to everyday life, the
only factor restricting their acceptability is the
high cost. Transanal suture rectopexy is the only
technique that is cost-effective.
Take-Home Message
• As discussed, each approach has its limita-
tions. Minimally invasive procedures are less
painful and allow patients an early return to
work. They are associated with less morbid-
ity. However, it can be extrapolated from the
data that, regardless of the surgery, immedi-
ate postoperative pain and discomfort vary
from a VAS score of 3–4, which improves in
48–72h.
• Based on the principle of DGHAL to treat
hemorrhoids, I prefer a hybrid procedure,
nger- guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation
(FGHAL) with laser hemorrhoidoplasty
(LHP). DGHAL laid the basis for FGHAL
and transanal suture rectopexy. The effective-
ness of FGHAL is similar to that of
DGHAL.Although PPH is a minimally inva-
sive procedure, I do not practice it.

Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty
“I am a big laser believer-I really think they are the waves of future.”

Key Concepts
• Surgical management for hemorrhoidal disease aims to provide a cure with a minimally
invasive surgical technique.
• Corpus cavernosum recti (CCR) is the primary vascular component of anal cushions
formed exclusively by the superior hemorrhoidal artery (SHA) branches.
• Excisional hemorrhoidectomy takes care of corpus cavernosum recti but creates large raw areas.
• DGHAL (Doppler-Guided Hemorrhoidal
Artery Ligation) works on the principle of
dearterialization but cannot ligate transmural
and posterolateral branches of the SHA.
• Laser hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP) with Fingerguided hemorrhoidal artery ligation (FGHAL)
is a hybrid procedure that leads to dearterialization of the internal hemorrhoidal plexus
followed by brosis.
• The CCR formed by posterolateral and transmural branches of the SHA can be dealt with
lasers, reducing the recurrence rate.
8.1 Introduction
One of the signicant breakthroughs in the technological era is the emergence of minimally invasive surgery. The patient and the surgeon seek a
procedure that offers a good outcome with less
morbidity. To date, no procedure fullls this cri-
terion. However, Laser hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP)
has an upper edge since it is hemostatic, less
painful, bactericidal, leads to faster healing, is
associated with lesser complications, and maintains the physiology of the anal canal by preserving the anal cushions [1]. Plapler studied the
effect of carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers on 350
patients with hemorrhoids and documented lasers
to be less painful than conventional surgery [2].
Using a diode laser allowed the surgeon to operate on the varicose veins of lower limbs without
cutting [3]. Later use of diode lasers in the hemorrhoidal mass was studied by Karahliloglu [2]
and started gaining popularity over the years.
Lasers can be used in two ways to treat hemorrhoids: First, by excising the hemorrhoidal mass,
as with the CO2 laser, and second, by delivering
the laser energy into the hemorrhoidal mass and
causing brosis by initiating protein denaturation, a procedure known as “Laser
Hemorrhoidoplasty.”
8.2 Principle ofLaser Energy
Photoablation Photoablation is tissue destruction by light, generally using a laser. As the laser
light passes through water, the H2O bond is broken, and crackling noises can be heard due to the
release of hydrogen ions. As soon as the bond is
broken, shrinkage of the target tissue occurs [4].

8 Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty
Photocoagulation Photocoagulation occurs due
to protein denaturation induced by laser energy.
Protein denaturation starts at 72.6°C and continues up to 132°C. Once the protein denaturation
occurs, it seals the blood vessels feeding hemorrhoids, resulting in dearterialization [4].
Photovaporization Photovaporization occurs
when the target tissue absorbs the laser energy.
Blood has 70% water, and a 1470nm diode laser
uses water as a target. When the laser energy goes
through blood, the water content evaporates at a
temperature of 80–90 °C. Vaporization leads to
shrinkage. The thin endothelial layer between the
sinusoids, which form fenestrations, is also broken. All that is left behind is a coagulum. Fibrosis
occurs after 6–8weeks, and the anal cushions are
xed in their normal position, taking care of the
prolapse [4].
8.3 Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty
8.3.1 Indications
• Laser hemorrhoidoplasty—takes care of nonvascular components in the anal cushions and
the remaining CCR network, which is partially taken care of by FGHAL.
8.4.1 Procedure forFGHAL andLHP
It is carried out in three steps
1. Assessment of hemorrhoids
2. Finger-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation
3. Laser hemorrhoidoplasty
• Internal hemorrhoids grade 2 to grade 4
8.3.2 Contraindications
• Strangulated hemorrhoids
• Ulcerated hemorrhoids
8.4 Hybrid Procedure:
ACombination ofFinger- Guided
Hemorrhoidal Artery Ligation
andLaser Hemorrhoidoplasty
(FGHAL withLHP)
Hybrid means “a synergistic combination of two
or more procedures for increasing their efcacy
to yield a better outcome.” In the hybrid procedure for hemorrhoids, maximum efcacy is
achieved by:
• Finger-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation—
leads to dearterialization.
