Overview

This study aims to compare the lateral internal sphincterotomy versus no lateral internal sphincterotomy during hemorrhoidectomy in the management of patients with hemorrhoids.

Description

Hemorrhoidectomy is associated with postoperative pain, and no single surgical technique has been proven to reduce the pain significantly.

However, there are many drawbacks to such techniques, such as postoperative pain and constipation. The cause of this postoperative pain is multifactorial. Spasm of the internal anal sphincter (IAS) is one of the factors which is exposed and impinged after EH. Therefore, Lateral internal sphincterotomy (LIS) is a widely used adjunct treatment after EH, which can abolish spasms of the IAS and subsequently relieve postoperative pain.
