title: The use of the Deaver retractor to visualize staple line haemorrhage following stapled anopexy.
abstract: Postoperative haemorrhage is a recognized complication of any haemorrhoidectomy procedure. It can be difficult to visualize a staple line haemorrhage in the presence of large circumferential haemorrhoids. We describe a technique to aid visualization of the staple line in this situation.
