The Provincial Hospital addresses hemorrhoids with an innovative technique.

Hemorrhoidal disease is the most common proctological disease, since it is estimated that about half of the population of fifty years of industrialized countries suffers or has suffered symptoms associated with hemorrhoids.

The head of the service of Coloproctology, Jesús Nomdedéu, said that patients who suffer or have suffered from hemorrhoids know very well the great inconvenience and difficulties created by the disease: bleeding, prolapse of mucosa and pain as a result of surgical treatment with traditional methods ”.

The new technique – added the doctor Nomdedeu effectively solves all these problems, since it reduces the blood hiperaflujo to hemorrhoids and corrects possible prolapse, repositioning the mucosa in its natural host.

The operation is carried out in an area without nerve endings, which almost completely reduces the main problem of the traditional surgical methods: postoperative pain.

also is a surgery minimally invasive because it does not imply the removal of tissues, and is absolutely safe, since to do so using a specially designed instrument. It is to detect the artery using a doppler ultrasound of the nutrition ” hemorrhoid package that, once located, is occluded with transanales points. Hence the name of the technique: transanal Haemorrhoidal desarterizacion.

Unlike traditional surgery operations, this new method avoids the post-operative pain and allows almost immediate job reinstatement of the patient, who can return to their daily activities between 24 and 48 hours after the intervention.

The treatment is performed on an outpatient under regional anaesthesia and is very safe because it does not imply the removal of tissues and does not require, just, analgesic pharmacological therapy.

Another advantage is that the method is repeatable and not hinders the implementation of any future action, since three months of operation the rectal canal turns to its normal anatomy.

In patients with other disorders such as incontinence, associated with major bleeding and coagulation, the benefit is double because this approach does not generate added tissue damage, with what the chances of complications are reduced considerably.
