PROS and CONS of Piles Operation

 

We always recommend home remedies for any disease, even for a painful and sleep depriving one such as piles, even some doctors recommend home remedies for it, because there is never a 100% success guarantee with an operation, even if performed by experienced doctors and even if a surgery is successful there is no chance that the patient will live or worse a patient can go into permanent coma.

The other factor with surgery is that it is expensive and not everyone can afford it and some of the ones who can afford a surgery would rather choose to live with the pain rather than dying in case of a failure in surgery.

But in some extreme cases such as bleeding, 3^rd & 4^th grade piles, strangulated & prolapsed piles and thrombosed piles, surgery becomes the only option and if you ever need to get Piles Surgery In Jaipur, why not be prepared with the pros and cons of piles surgery.

The collection of tissue that become inflamed and swollen are called piles, it can vary in size and these tissues can be found inside or outside the anus, these lumps occur due to chronic constipation and or diarrhea, lifting heavy weights, pregnancy or straining during passing of stool.

It generally happens to anyone who constantly eat spicy or street food, this is because the digestive system can’t handle the load when we pass too much junk food for it to digest, our digestive system eventually fails to digest such food and hard stool is formed which causes strain in the anus when passing.

Pros and cons of piles surgery

Now that we know what about piles and what types of operations are available, let us know the pros and cons of each.

Open hemorrhoidectomy: - There is minimal pain and bleeding and sutures are not palpable, but the best pro about it is that it can be performed by general surgeons and in small hospitals.

But it causes pain and there are high rates of bleeding and stenosis after the operation.

Stapler haemorrhoidectomy: - There is minimal pain and bleeding after operation, the operating time is short, there will be no external wound after operation, the incidence of a urinary retention occurring is less and the patient can return early to work, plus 3^rd and 4^th degree piles can also be treated with this technique.

But expertise and stapler availability are low since it requires high costs, there can also be injury in rectum and high rate of recurrence

Ligasure and harmonic scalpel: - There is no bleeding after operation and the pain is also less, but it is not available in small hospitals.

Doppler guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation: - The main pro is that it is a daycare procedure meaning that the patient can go home within 24 hours after operation and it comes with minimal pain and bleeding with a 0% chance of tissue excision.

But there is an 8% recurrence rate and low availability of expertise and instrument making it a procedure that is rarely ever performed.

Cryosurgery: - Unfortunately there are only cons related to it that is there will be prolonged and excessive mucous diarrhea after operation so it is no longer performed in the 21^st century.

Nd: Yag laser: - There is minimal pain and bleeding and the patient can go home within 24 hours of surgery, but its costs are high and availability is low.

Now that you know the pros and cons of each you can prepare yourself for the post operative complications that may occur.
