The most common vascular disease in proctology is, of course, hemorrhoids. What is it and how is the operation to remove hemorrhoids - learn in our article.
What are hemorrhoids?
The essence of this vascular disease is that the cavernous (cavernous) bodies expand in the rectum. There is a prolapse of the so-called hemorrhoids from the anus. Unfortunately, many people do not attach any importance to the symptoms of this disease. As a result, complications arise.
Hemorrhoid symptoms
Before talking about the methods of operation to remove hemorrhoids, let's find out the signs of its appearance:
- blood is released after a bowel movement;
- when emptying or after it there is pain in the anus;
- constant feeling of incomplete emptying of the bowels;
- hemorrhoids fall out;
- volumetric formations appear;
- there is constant itching and some discomfort in the anus.
Note, if any of the above is happening to you, urgentlycontact a specialist! Timely diagnosis of this disease will solve this problem without surgery.
Surgery to remove hemorrhoids
This happens through two traditional surgical methods:
- according to the Milligan-Morgan method;
- according to the Longo method.
In the first case, the surgeon proceeds to dissect the internal and external nodes, and in the second, he removes some of the mucous membrane that is part of the rectum, which is located above the dentate line.
It is worth noting that the operation to remove hemorrhoids by the second method saves hemorrhoids. This allows them to pull up, which leads to impaired blood supply. After some time, the nodes begin to be replaced by connective tissue and, in fact, decrease in size.
Laser hemorrhoid surgery
It is worth noting that such treatment cannot be attributed to conservative methods of dealing with this vascular disease. Moreover, laser coagulation is a worthy alternative to traditional surgery.
Basically, this method is used in the early stages of the disease. This method of removing hemorrhoids can rightfully be called reliable and effective. The fact is that laser coagulation is the "scalpel" of the 21st century. It has both cutting and cauterizing properties! As in the Longo method, carried out by traditional surgery, here in placeremote internal node soon there is a connective tissue.
Note that this operation is the most painless in modern proctology.
Finally
In conclusion, I would like to note that the cost of laser hemorrhoids surgery is considerable. The price of traditional surgery starts from 20 thousand rubles.
After the operation, all preventive measures must be strictly observed, consisting of proper nutrition with optimization of bowel function, as well as increased physical activity.
