Hemorrhoidectomy in the patient with multiple or circumferential hemorrhoids.
A technique is presented that allows complete removal of hemorrhoids even when large hemorrhoids exist between the classic three major hemorrhoidal locations. Since the anorectal mucosa overlying these "interval" hemorrhoids is preserved, there is no increased tendency for stricture formation to occur.
