PURPOSE: The long-term results after stapled hemorrhoidopexy compared with Milligan-Morgan procedure are discussed. METHODS: The clinical data of 100 patients treated by Milligan-Morgan procedure or stapled hemorrhoidopexy for fourth-degree hemorrhoids have been reviewed. All patients were visited and submitted to a questionnaire to evaluate resumption of symptoms, functional results, and recurrence rate. RESULTS: The mean follow-up was 54 months for stapled hemorrhoidopexy and 92 months for the Milligan-Morgan procedure. Postoperative pain and return to normal activity were worse in the Milligan-Morgan procedure (Visual Analog Scale 8.56 vs. 5.46, P<0.001; and 2.4 vs. 2 weeks, P value=0.018). Eight percent of patients who had stapled hemorrhoidopexy complained of spontaneous pain or pain during defecation vs. 0 percent of patients who underwent the Milligan-Morgan procedure. We noted that there was bleeding in 14 percent of stapled hemorrhoidopexy vs. 0 percent of Milligan-Morgan procedure (P<0.006), tenesmus in 32 percent of stapled hemorrhoidopexy vs. 0 percent of Milligan-Morgan procedure (P∈<∈0. 001), and pruritus in 4 percent of stapled hemorrhoidopexy vs. 0 percent of Milligan-Morgan procedure. Minor leakage was similar in the two groups. Flatus impaired control was less frequent in Milligan-Morgan. The relative risk of recurrence for stapled hemorrhoidopexy compared with Milligan-Morgan procedure was 1.18 (95 percent confidence interval 1< relative risk < 1.4). No statistical difference was noted in patients' satisfaction after the procedures. CONCLUSIONS: Long follow-up seems to indicate more favorable results in Milligan-Morgan procedure in terms of resumption of symptoms and risk of recurrence. © 2007 The American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons.

Abstract
PURPOSE: The long-term results after stapled hemorrhoidopexy compared with Milligan-Morgan procedure are discussed. METHODS: The clinical data of 100 patients treated by Milligan-Morgan procedure or stapled hemorrhoidopexy for fourth-degree hemorrhoids have been reviewed. All patients were visited and submitted to a questionnaire to evaluate resumption of symptoms, functional results, and recurrence rate. RESULTS: The mean follow-up was 54 months for stapled hemorrhoidopexy and 92 months for the Milligan-Morgan procedure. Postoperative pain and return to normal activity were worse in the Milligan-Morgan procedure (Visual Analog Scale 8.56 vs. 5.46, P<0.001; and 2.4 vs. 2 weeks, P value=0.018). Eight percent of patients who had stapled hemorrhoidopexy complained of spontaneous pain or pain during defecation vs. 0 percent of patients who underwent the Milligan-Morgan procedure. We noted that there was bleeding in 14 percent of stapled hemorrhoidopexy vs. 0 percent of Milligan-Morgan procedure (P<0.006), tenesmus in 32 percent of stapled hemorrhoidopexy vs. 0 percent of Milligan-Morgan procedure (P∈<∈0. 001), and pruritus in 4 percent of stapled hemorrhoidopexy vs. 0 percent of Milligan-Morgan procedure. Minor leakage was similar in the two groups. Flatus impaired control was less frequent in Milligan-Morgan. The relative risk of recurrence for stapled hemorrhoidopexy compared with Milligan-Morgan procedure was 1.18 (95 percent confidence interval 1< relative risk < 1.4). No statistical difference was noted in patients' satisfaction after the procedures. CONCLUSIONS: Long follow-up seems to indicate more favorable results in Milligan-Morgan procedure in terms of resumption of symptoms and risk of recurrence. © 2007 The American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
