Vascular Z-shaped ligation technique in surgical treatment of haemorrhoid.
World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery 2015 January 28
AIM: To present the effectiveness of minimal invasive vascular zet ligation in the surgical treatment of haemorrhoidal disease (HD).
METHODS: Among 138 patients with 2(nd)-4(th) grade internal HD having several complaints and operated at our hospital between 2003-2013; 116 patients who regularly attended 1-year control were included in the study. Operation times, postoperative early period pain, satisfaction score, complications and relapse details were obtained from computer records retrospectively. Visual Analogous Scale (VAS) scores were used for patient satisfaction on the 3(rd), 7(th) and 21(st) days. Technique; fixed suture which is constituted by the first leg of the Z-shaped suture (to pass by the mucosa and muscular layer) was put in the pile root in order to ensure vascular ligation and fixation. The second leg of the Z-shaped suture is constituted by mobile suture and it passes by the pile mucosa and submucosa which prolapses 5-10 mm below the first suture.
RESULTS: Seventy-five of the patients (65%) were male, 41 of them (35%) were female and their age average was 41. The mean operation time was 12 ± 4.8 min. VAS/satisfaction score was found as 2.2/4.3, 1.8/4.0, 1.2/4.4 respectively on the 3(rd), 7(th), and 21(st) days. Four of the patient (3.5%) had relapse.
CONCLUSION: This technique is an easily applicable, cost efficient way of operation which increases patient satisfaction.
