Traditional Surgery for Hemorrhoids and Anal Conditions
What is traditional hemorrhoid surgery?
Traditional surgery (Hemorrhoidectomy) is the oldest and most widely used method for treating hemorrhoids. It involves surgically removing hemorrhoids under general or spinal anesthesia.
It is considered a decisive and final option, especially for very severe and advanced cases when other treatments such as laser, Doppler, or catheterization fail.
Advantages of Traditional Surgery
✅ Provides a definitive and permanent solution for very advanced hemorrhoids.
✅ Suitable for cases with major complications (persistent bleeding or severely prolapsed hemorrhoids).
✅ High success rate, reaching up to 95–98%.
✅ Covered by most medical insurance companies.
