The following guidelines are followed before performing a hemorrhoidectomy-

• The doctor may stop any kind of medication prescribed to the patient hours before the surgery and in some cases days before the surgery.

• The patient is asked to stop smoking (if he does) at least two weeks before the surgery because smoking can obstruct the healing process.

• A chest X-Ray and Electrocardiogram (ECG) will be done to rule out the presence of any heart or lung disease.

• The patient must not eat at least 6 to 12 hours before the surgery.

• Saline enemas are provided in the morning before the surgery to wash and clean the rectum and the large intestine’s lower part for any fecal matter.

If other treatments like home remedies or medications have not been successful or the patient has large hemorrhoids, then the only option for the doctors is to treat the pile by performing a surgery. The surgery may be done as a daycare or may require the patient to stay overnight at the hospital. The two surgical methods to treat piles are as follows-

Procedure for Prolapse and Hemorrhoids (PPH): PPH also called stapled hemorrhoidectomy is a surgery where the doctor repositions the hemorrhoids and cut off their blood supply by using a device similar to a stapler. This procedure treats hemorrhoids that have and have not prolapsed or have slipped down the anus. In this method, the patients recover faster and have less bleeding and itching. Here, the piles are moved to where there are fewer nerve endings, which hurts less than traditional surgery. This is a typical method for internal hemorrhoids.

Hemorrhoidal Artery Ligation and Recto Anal Repair (HAL-RAR): HAL-RAR is a new surgical procedure where a miniature Doppler sensor is inserted in the anus to detect the arteries, which supplies blood to hemorrhoids. Then after pinpointing the arteries supplying the blood, the doctors tie them off to cut the blood supply. Here, the hemorrhoids are reduced immediately and within a few weeks, it is no longer noticeable. This method is an effective one, which is virtually painless.

Traditional Hemorrhoids Removal: This method is known as hemorrhoidectomy, the surgeon removes excessive tissue that causes bleeding. To treat severe or recurring hemorrhoids, this method is the most effective and complete one.

Only if the doctor suggests, the patient may be prescribed painkillers to reduce the pain.

Soaking in a warm bath is also very helpful. Stool softeners can be of great use to the patient to make pooping easier. Doctors recommend eating a high-fiber diet and drinking 8-10 glasses of water per day.

Though piles surgery or Hemorrhoidectomy is very common and is considered safe, it also has some risks involved -

• Bleeding

• Infection 

• Reaction to Anesthesia

• The patient might have difficulty in peeing for sometime after the surgery because of swelling or muscle spasms

• If during the surgery, the patient’s anal sphincter gets damaged then there are high chances of him having accidental bowel or gas leaks, which is a condition called fecal incontinence

• The area with the cut may be tender and painful

The patient must immediately call his doctor if his bleeding does not stop if he is not able to pee or poop and has a high fever.
