What Is Sutured Hemorrhoid Surgery?

Hemorrhoids are a distressing health condition that can negatively impact your daily life. Symptoms such as itching, pain, and bleeding can significantly reduce your quality of life. However, there’s no need to worry! At A Life Health Group, we offer a permanent solution with sutured hemorrhoid surgery performed using the latest technology. Our experienced surgeons and comfortable facilities ensure that you receive a personalized treatment plan, supporting you before, during, and after the surgery.

What Are Hemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoids are pillow-like structures that form as a result of the veins in the anus and rectum area becoming enlarged and swollen. Internal hemorrhoids are located inside the anus, while external hemorrhoids appear on the outside. Although the exact cause of hemorrhoids is not fully understood, factors such as constipation, prolonged sitting or standing, pregnancy, and childbirth can increase the risk.

What Is Sutured Hemorrhoid Surgery?

Sutured hemorrhoid surgery is a procedure in which the swollen hemorrhoidal tissues are surgically removed and the area is sutured. This method is particularly preferred for internal hemorrhoids and is usually performed under local or general anesthesia.

Why Is Sutured Hemorrhoid Surgery Necessary?

The most common reasons for hemorrhoids include:

Pain and Itching: Hemorrhoids can cause severe pain and itching.
Bleeding: Blood during bowel movements or in the stool is a common symptom.
Prolapsed Hemorrhoids: In some cases, hemorrhoids may protrude and not retract on their own.
Hygiene Problems: Hemorrhoids can lead to hygiene issues.
Reduced Quality of Life: Hemorrhoids can negatively affect daily life and make social interactions difficult.

Sutured Hemorrhoid Surgery

Sutured hemorrhoid surgery is a surgical method used in the treatment of hemorrhoids. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia. During the surgery, the blood vessels and tissue in the area of the hemorrhoids are excised. Afterwards, the area is closed with sutures.

Before Sutured Hemorrhoid Surgery

Before the surgery, your doctor will perform a detailed examination and request necessary tests. They will provide you with comprehensive information about the procedure and answer your questions. Certain medications may need to be stopped for a period, and fasting may be required before the surgery.

How Sutured Hemorrhoid Surgery is Performed

The surgery is generally brief, and the patient is usually discharged the same day. During the procedure, the surgeon removes the swollen hemorrhoid tissues and sutures the area.

Advantages of Sutured Hemorrhoid Surgery

The advantages of sutured hemorrhoid surgery include:

Permanent Solution: Sutured hemorrhoid surgery is an effective method that minimizes the risk of recurrence.
High Success Rate: The procedure has a high success rate, and most patients fully recover after surgery.
Applicability to Different Hemorrhoid Types: It can be used to treat both internal and external hemorrhoids.

After Sutured Hemorrhoid Surgery

Postoperative symptoms may include pain, bleeding, and swelling. These can be managed using painkillers and other medications prescribed by your doctor. Regular dressing changes and sitz baths help accelerate the healing process.

Recovery Process After Sutured Hemorrhoid Surgery

The recovery process after sutured hemorrhoid surgery may vary from person to person. Most patients can return to normal activities within 1–2 weeks after surgery. Important considerations during the recovery period include:

Drink Plenty of Fluids: Drinking water helps prevent constipation and accelerates healing.
Eat High-Fiber Foods: Fiber softens the stool and reduces straining during bowel movements.
Avoid Heavy Lifting: Lifting heavy objects can put pressure on the surgical area and delay recovery.
Regular Dressing Changes: Keeping the surgical site clean and dry reduces the risk of infection.
Sitz Baths: Sitting in a basin of warm water can help relieve pain and reduce swelling.

Risks of Sutured Hemorrhoid Surgery

As with any surgical procedure, sutured hemorrhoid surgery carries some risks, including:

Infection: Infection may develop in the surgical area.
Bleeding: Bleeding may occur during or after the surgery.
Pain: Pain in the anal area may be experienced postoperatively.
Difficulty Urinating: Some patients may experience difficulty urinating after surgery.
Anal Stricture: Rarely, anal narrowing may occur after surgery.
Fecal Incontinence: Very rarely, some patients may experience loss of bowel control.

At A Life, our experienced surgeons and modern equipment aim to minimize these risks.
