Haemorrhoidectomy
The surgical removal of enlarged, symptomatic haemorrhoids to provide lasting relief.
What is Haemorrhoidectomy?
A haemorrhoidectomy is the surgical removal of haemorrhoids, swollen blood vessels in and around the anus that can cause pain, itching, and bleeding when enlarged. It is generally recommended for larger or more severe haemorrhoids that have not responded to non-surgical treatments such as dietary changes, topical medication, or minor in-office procedures. Your surgeon carefully removes the affected tissue while preserving the normal function of the surrounding area. The procedure is performed under general, spinal, or local anaesthesia and is considered the most effective, definitive treatment for significant haemorrhoids.
Why is this procedure performed?
- Large or severe haemorrhoids causing significant pain or bleeding
- Haemorrhoids that have not improved with non-surgical treatment
- Prolapsed haemorrhoids that require manual repositioning
- Recurrent haemorrhoid symptoms affecting daily comfort
- Haemorrhoids too large or extensive for minor in-office procedures
How does this procedure help?
A haemorrhoidectomy provides the most thorough, lasting relief for significant haemorrhoids, with a lower recurrence rate than less invasive treatments. While recovery involves some discomfort in the first one to two weeks, most patients experience substantial relief from the pain, bleeding, and discomfort that brought them to treatment in the first place. With proper post-operative care, including dietary guidance to prevent constipation, most patients heal well and remain symptom-free long term.
