Haemorrhoidectomy​

A haemorrhoidectomy​ surgery is a procedure to remove haemorrhoids.

Who is suitable for a haemorrhoidectomy​?

Patients who decide to undergo a haemorrhoidectomy​ usually do so because alternative treatment have not worked. These could vary from ointments, suppositories, or any procedures to shrink enlarged haemorrhoids.

What does a haemorrhoidectomy​ involve? ​ 

Haemorrhoidectomy​ surgery is performed under general anaesthetic and usually takes approximately 45 minutes. 

 Your surgeon will gently open your bottom using a retractor to have a look at the haemorrhoids. A medical device called a diathermy is then used to remove the haemorrhoidal tissue and any anal skin tags.
