The aim of this study was to systematically list the types of outcomes used in HD studies. These differences between outcomes among studies limit transparency and lead to incomparability of results. Previously published literature regarding treatment of hemorrhoidal disease (HD) revealed a lack of uniform defined outcomes. Reoperations were infrequent and there is a high patient’s degree of satisfaction associated with this technique. Recurrence is higher for grade IV hemorrhoids and may occur up to 9 years of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Stapled hemorrhoidopexy is a safe and effective treatment for hemorrhoidal disease grades III and IV. After a prolonged follow-up, 82.5% of patients were either very satisfied or satisfied with the surgery.

The complications were skin tags (3.1%), anal sub-stenosis (2.1%), and fecal incontinence (2.1%). Recurrence after prolonged follow-up was seen in 16 patients (16.3%) and 11 (11.2%) required reoperations. Recurrence was higher in grade IV (26.1%) than in grade III (7.7%) (p=0.014).

The mean follow-up was 193 months (range: 184-231), 52 were female, 52 were grade III hemorrhoids, and 46 were grade IV. RESULTS: From a total of 155 patients, 98 patients were evaluated: 59 (60.2%) were interviewed by telephone and 39 (39.8%) were evaluated by outpatient consultation. Data were collected with regard to late complications, rate and timing of recurrences, and patients’ degree of satisfaction. In this study, we evaluated the same patients after a very long follow-up. METHODS: Stapled hemorrhoidopexy was performed on 155 patients between 20, and the early results have already been published. AIMS: The aim of this study was to evaluate the very long-term results of the stapled hemorrhoidopexy technique. BACKGROUND: Stapled hemorrhoidopexy has been widely used for the treatment of hemorrhoids, but concerns about complications and recurrences after prolonged follow-up are still under debate. The patient experienced no subsequent difficulty with defecation or urgency. Temporary ileostomy with double orifices was performed.

The lower rectum was transected, and the remaining rectum and the anal canal were anastomosed by manual suture. The patient was diagnosed with rectal pocket syndrome secondary to SH. When the fecalith was removed, the patient's urge to defecate dissipated. The cavity contained a thumbnail-sized fecalith. Colonoscopy revealed communication between the diverticular cavity and the rectal lumen. Computed tomography showed a diverticulum-like fistula along the circumference of the rectum. He started to have difficulty with defecation and a false sense of urgency shortly after the surgery. The patient had undergone stapled hemorrhoidopexy (SH) for the treatment of prolapsed hemorrhoids approximately 10 years earlier. Both early and late complications unique to stapled hemorrhoidopexy were identified and assessed.Ī 60 year-old male was referred to the authors' hospital with a persistent urge to defecate. Complications unique to the procedure were identified and rates recorded. Early and late complications were defined individually with overall data suggesting that early complications ranged from 2.3%-58.9% and late complications ranged from 2.5%-80%. Overall complication rates of stapled hemorrhoidopexy ranged from 3.3%-81% with 5 mortalities documented. A total of 14,232 patients underwent a stapled hemorrhoidopexy in this review. The search identified 784 articles and 78 of these were suitable for inclusion in the review. Data extraction was conducted by both reviewers and entered and analyzed in Microsoft Excel. Two reviewers independently screened the abstracts for relevance and their suitability for inclusion. No language restrictions were placed on the search, however foreign language articles were not translated. Limitations were placed on the search criteria with articles published from 1998 to 2013 being included in this review. Articles were identified via searching OVID and MEDLINE between July 2011 and October 2013. A systematic review addressing reported complications of stapled hemorrhoidopexy was conducted.
