Terminology. The traditional “external dissection and internal ligation” or Milligan-Morgan technique, is a mainstream treatment for mixed hemorrhoids. PPH stands for “procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids”. With the new PPH or stapled hemorrhoidectomy there is no need to cut out the hemorrhoid tissue at the anus.
Is hemorrhoidectomy a major surgery?
Hemorrhoidectomy is an invasive and sometimes painful treatment option, but it can be an effective, even permanent fix. Complications are rare and not usually serious.
What are the grades of hemorrhoids?
Grade I hemorrhoids bleed but do not prolapse; on colonoscopy, they are seen as small bulges into the lumen. Grade II hemorrhoids prolapse outside the anal canal but reduce spontaneously. Grade III hemorrhoids protrude outside the anal canal and usually require manual reduction.
