title: [Surgical treatment of hemorrhoids in day-surgery].
abstract: The Authors report their own experience with day-surgery treatment of haemorrhoids and underline the advantages in terms of patients' compliance and reduction of the sanitary management in order to the cost that this way suggests. The serie here reported includes 72 patients treated, by two years, with day-surgery haemorrhoidectomy. Here are indicated criteria of selection of the patients, related to the state of the illness, association of other pathologies and social factors. All the patients, moreover, have been treated according to a scheme that generally includes: a careful preoperatory valuation, local anaesthesia, standardized surgical method (Milligan-Morgan intervention), dimission few hours after the operation, control of the patients at their own home. The results obtained, careful examinted through an objective valuation (complications, relapses, time or reability) and subjective one (index of satisfaction of the patients), can be considered extremely positive.
