Hemorrhoids - MIPH, Hemorrhoidectomy

Hemorrhoids – MIPH & Hemorrhoidectomy by Dr. Atef J. Baakza

Understanding Hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids, commonly known as piles, are swollen veins in the lower rectum or anus. They can cause discomfort, itching, bleeding, and pain—especially during bowel movements.

Hemorrhoids may be internal (inside the rectum) or external (under the skin around the anus). When symptoms become severe or persistent, surgical treatment offers long-term relief.

Common symptoms include:

Bleeding during bowel movements

Anal pain or discomfort

Swelling or lump near the anus

Itching and irritation

Difficulty in hygiene

Surgical Options for Hemorrhoids

1. MIPH (Minimally Invasive Procedure for Hemorrhoids)

MIPH, also known as Stapler Hemorrhoidopexy, is a modern, minimally invasive surgical technique designed to treat Grade 3 and 4 hemorrhoids.

A specialized circular stapling device is used to reposition the prolapsed hemorrhoidal tissue back to its normal position.

This procedure cuts off the blood supply to the hemorrhoids, causing them to shrink naturally.

Since the surgery is performed above the pain-sensitive area, patients experience minimal pain and faster recovery.

Advantages of MIPH:

Minimal post-operative pain

Faster recovery and early return to normal life

Excellent control of prolapse and bleeding

Short hospital stay

2. Hemorrhoidectomy (Conventional Hemorrhoid Surgery)

Hemorrhoidectomy is the traditional and most definitive surgical treatment for large, external, or mixed hemorrhoids.

The hemorrhoidal tissue is completely excised and the wound is managed carefully to minimize discomfort.

This procedure provides permanent relief, especially in severe or recurrent cases.

Advantages of Hemorrhoidectomy:

Complete removal of hemorrhoids

Effective for advanced disease

Very low recurrence rates

Long-term symptom control
