Comparison of the Clinical Effects of Open, Closed, and Semi-close Hemorrhoidectomy.
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Hemorrhoids
In brief
This study compares three different ways surgeons close the wound after removing hemorrhoids (piles): leaving it completely open, stitching it completely closed, or stitching only half of it closed (semi-closed). The goal is to see which method leads to faster healing, less pain, fewer complications, and better long-term results. Patients undergoing hemorrhoidectomy will be randomly assigned to one of the three groups. All patients will receive standard post-operative care. Researchers will measure healing time, pain levels, need for pain medication, hospital stay, complications, and check if hemorrhoids come back within one year.
