Hemorrhoidectomy is one of the most effective treatments for significantly symptomatic hemorrhoids. By placing the patient in the Sims' position and appropriately using the Hill-Ferguson retractor and towel clip, the surgeon can get good exposure and perform a Ferguson closed hemorrhoidectomy without any assistance.
The many treatments for haemorrhoids highlight a lack of consensus. Differences in patients' and surgeons' priority make objective evaluation of haemorrhoid treatment difficult; different types of haemorrhoids are being treated in patients from different socio-economic backgrounds by surgeons of varying expertise from within different cultural settings. In this article we have reviewed the results of common treatments for haemorrhoids and give an outline of our operative technique when performing haemorrhoidectomy.
