The most common vascular disease in proctology is, of course, hemorrhoids. What is it, and how is the operation to remove hemorrhoids - we learn in our article.
What is hemorrhoids?
The essence of this vascular disease is that the cavernous (cavernous) bodies expand in the rectum. There is a loss of the so-called hemorrhoidal nodes from the anus . Unfortunately, many people do not attach any importance to the symptoms of this disease. As a result, complications arise.
Symptoms of Hemorrhoids
Before talking about what methods an operation is performed to remove hemorrhoids, let's find out the signs of its appearance:
- after defecation, blood is released;
- when emptying or after it there is pain in the anus;
- constant feeling of not completely empty bowels;
- hemorrhoidal nodes fall out;
- volumetric formations appear;
- in the anus, itching and some discomfort are constantly present.
Note that if any of the above happens with you, immediately contact a specialist! Timely diagnosis of this disease will solve this problem without surgery.
Hemorrhoid Surgery
This occurs using two traditional surgical methods:
- by the method of Milligan-Morgan;
- according to the Longo method.
In the first case, the surgeon begins to dissect the internal and external nodes, and in the second - 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 preserves hemorrhoids. This allows them to pull up, which leads to a violation of the 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 can not be attributed to conservative methods of combating this vascular disease. Moreover, laser coagulation is a worthy alternative to traditional surgical intervention.
Basically, this method is resorted to in the first stages of the disease. This method of removing hemorrhoids can rightly be called reliable and effective. The fact is that laser coagulation is a “scalpel” of the 21st century. It has both cutting and cauterizing properties! As in the Longo method, performed by the traditional surgical method, connective tissue soon arises here at the site of the removed internal node.
Note that this operation is the most painless in modern proctology.
In the end
In conclusion, I would like to note that the cost of surgery to remove hemorrhoids with a laser is considerable. The price of traditional surgical intervention starts from 20 thousand rubles.
After the operation, all preventive measures consisting of proper nutrition with optimization of the function of bowel movement, as well as increased motor activity, must be strictly observed.
