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
