title: [A prospective study of 106 patients with hemorrhoids treated with PPH stapler. Early and long-term results].
abstract: Muco-mucosal resection with a PPH stapler according to Longo allows repair of arterial hyperaemia, venous dilation and mucosal prolapse. From September 1 1997 to October 31 2000 a prospective study was conducted in 106 patients. The results show that the Longo haemorrhoidectomy technique is well tolerated and almost painless, and is characterised by a low complication rate and good results in the long term.
