Doppler Guided Hemorrhoidal Artery Ligation Versus Ligation Mucopexy: Treatment of Hemorrhoidsprospective Case Controlled Study
Background: Surgical treatment of hemorrhoid is usually painful. Recently, several novel treatment
options have been developed to treat high-grade hemorrhoids with the intention of minimizing the
drawbacks of conventional hemorrhoidectomy technique. Objective: compare Doppler Guided
Hemorrhoidal Artery Ligation with mucopexy (DGHAL) versus Ligation mucopexy (HAL) technique.
Patient and Method: A prospective case controlled study which included 40 consecutive patients with 2nd
to 4th degree of hemorrhoids requiring surgery, in duration from June 2013 to September 2014 at Al Kasr
Al Ainy hospitals. The patients were categorized into two groups; twenty patients were treated with
haemorrhoidal artery ligation and mucopexy (HAL), the other twenty patients were treated with Doppler
Guided haemorrhoidal artery ligation followed by mucopexy (DGHAL). Results: Using VAS there was
astatistically significant differences in pain score between both groups (p=0.02), where the mean in
DGHAL was 3.8 (±2.8), and in mucopexy was 1.2(±1.6). The mean operative duration in DGHAL group
was 39.0 min (± 3.6) and 42.50 min (± 6.7) in the HAL group with no statistically significant difference (p
=0.2). As regard to complications rate there was no statistically significant difference between both groups
(p=0.2)
