[Surgical treatment of hemorrhoids].
Patients suffering from hemorrhoids consult surgeons either for acute cases of hemorrhage or thrombosis which dot not really call for surgical operation, or for chronic cases with complications in which hemorrhoidal treatment is of secondary importance. Or else for intermediate cases treated equally well by ambulatory or surgical treatment. The drawback to surgery is that it necessitates hospitalisation and, usually, an anaesthetic. The advantage of surgery is that it generally provides a definitive cure after only one operation. Today's surgical techniques are all derived from the methods put forward by Morgan, effecting a systematic dissection of the hemorrhoidal clusters. Minimal pre- and post-operative treatment together with the anatomical nature of the operation ensure simple and fairly painless sequels.
