Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to demonstrate that open excisional hemorrhoidectomy (OEH), when performed using a minimally invasive approach, results in less postoperative pain and comparable outcomes to conventional OEH.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

At our hospital, the investigators have developed a new approach to hemorrhoid surgery by modifying the traditional open excisional hemorrhoidectomy. This new method incorporates an image-amplifying device and utilizes microsurgery tools. Preliminary results have shown significant improvement in patients' immediate postoperative pain, with efficacy comparable to conventional methods one year after treatment.

We propose conducting a clinical trial to confirm these initial findings. The study will include two gropus: one undergoing conventional open excisional hemorrhoidectomy (OEH) and the other receiving minimally invasive open excisional hemorrhoidectomy (miOEH). Patients will be randomly assigned to one of these two groups.

The primary outcome of interest will be the level of postoperative pain assessed 10 days after surgery. The secondary outcomes will evaluate the effectiveness of the technique one year post-surgery, measured by the Hemorrhoidal Disease Symptom Score(HDSS) and the Short Health Scale in Hemorrhoidal Disease (SHSHD).
