Surgical removal of hemorrhoids (enlarged and dilated
veins in and around the rectum and anus). Hemorrhoidectomy is usually reserved for
severe hemorrhoids if more conservative treatment measures fail to alleviate the
symptoms (burning, itching, swelling, protrusion, bleeding, and pain).
Hemorrhoidectomy may be done with a standard scalpel or with an ultrasonic scalpel
to cut away hemorrhoids (a method that does not require sutures). Another sutureless
method involves staples. Tissue from further in the anus is used to close the wound
with surgical staples after the hemorrhoids are removed.
