Abstract

The study contrasts the two reputable, most widely utilised surgical procedures employed in the treatment of advanced haemorrhoid treatment; i.e., stapled hemorrhoidopexy (SH) and conventional hemorrhoidectomy. Haemorrhoidectomy is a widely used surgical procedure, and there has always been a controversy regarding which one will offer the best results regarding recovery and pain. Thus, the main purpose of the study is the review and synthesis of the new evidence on the comparative effectiveness of SH and traditional hemorrhoidectomy. It chooses twenty-five peer-reviewed studies published during 2018-2025. Thus, it was found that SH has been linked to a high percentage of reduced postoperative pain, reduced duration of surgery, reduced hospital duration, and reduced recovery back to normalcy as compared to conventional hemorrhoidectomy. SH group, however, reported a higher incidence rate of recurrence and other problems, including urinary retention. Thus, this study offers an evidential rationale to medical practitioners, surgeons regarding the potential of implementing SH to enhance patient satisfaction and efficiency in regards to surgical management of haemorrhoids.

Özet

Bu çalışma, ileri düzey hemoroid tedavisinde kullanılan iki saygın ve en yaygın cerrahi yöntemi karşılaştırmaktadır: zımbalı hemoroidopeksi (SH) ve geleneksel hemoroidektomi. Hemoroidektomi yaygın olarak kullanılan bir cerrahi yöntemdir ve iyileşme ve ağrı açısından hangisinin en iyi sonuçları vereceği konusunda her zaman bir tartışma olmuştur. Bu nedenle, çalışmanın temel amacı, SH ve geleneksel hemoroidektominin karşılaştırmalı etkinliğine ilişkin yeni kanıtların gözden geçirilmesi ve sentezlenmesidir. 2018-2025 yılları arasında yayınlanan yirmi beş hakemli çalışma seçilmiştir. Buna göre, SH'nin geleneksel hemoroidektomiye kıyasla ameliyat sonrası ağrıda, ameliyat süresinde, hastanede kalış süresinde ve normale dönüşte daha düşük oranda azalma ile ilişkili olduğu bulunmuştur. Bununla birlikte, SH grubunda nüks oranı ve idrar retansiyonu da dahil olmak üzere diğer sorunların daha yüksek oranda görüldüğü bildirilmiştir. Dolayısıyla bu çalışma, hemoroidlerin cerrahi tedavisinde hasta memnuniyetini ve verimliliği artırmak amacıyla SH'nin uygulanmasının potansiyeli konusunda tıp uzmanlarına ve cerrahlara kanıta dayalı bir gerekçe sunmaktadır.
