Core Tip
Core Tip: The groundbreaking study by Liu et al reveals that stapled hemorrhoidopexy (SH) is a successful surgical treatment for hemorrhoids. A modified SH technique that lowers the likelihood of stenosis is described. The authors completed this altered treatment in patients over 5 years, with minimal stenosis rates, recurrence, and other problems. This implies that the modified approach would be preferable to normal SH to reduce the probability of complications. Despite multiple limitations, such as a small sample size, the study highlights the importance of the modified SH technique in reducing complications of anal stenosis after SH and improving quality and safety for affected patients, while suggesting supplementary research and innovative treatment approaches.
