Abstract
Introduction
Hemorrhoids are normal vascular structures in the anal canal. However, they are often the source of a variety of problems. The cardinal features of hemorrhoidal disease include bleeding, anal pruritus, prolapse, and pain due to thrombosis.
The incidence of haemorrhoids increases with age and it seems likely that at least 50% of people over the age of 50years have some degree of haemorrhoid formation. Men seem to be affected roughly twice as frequently as women.
Every therapeutic modality has advantage and disadvantage. Pain after haemorrhoid surgery remains one of the most important patient complaints. our study is aimed to evaluate the role of lateral sphincterotomy along with haemorrhoidectomy in reducing the post operative pain and related complications.[6]
Aims & Objectives
To evaluate the role of lateral sphincterotomy along with haemorrhoidectomy with respect to, pain relief, urinary retention, comfort of defecation, continence, healing of wound of haemorrhoids.
