Presentation
We present a case of severe retroperitoneal sepsis complicating stapled hemorrhoidectomy that was successfully treated by conservative means, further surgery therefore being avoided. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Lymphedema
They have been used to treat a variety of conditions including chronic venous insufficiency, lymphedema and hemorrhoids. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Fulminant Sepsis
A 23-year old man being treated with SH for third-degree hemorrhoids developed fulminant intra-abdominal sepsis as the result of a rectal injury during the operation. An exploratory laparotomy was performed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Noncompliance
Sixteen GTN patients were noncompliant due to side effects. None had persistent perianal skin tags. GTN did not reduce postoperative pain after stapled hemorrhoidectomy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Gastrointestinal
- Constipation
It also reduces constipation by increasing the rate of muscle contraction in the small intestines. [livestrong.com]
The patient should avoid constipation, and it is recommended to use laxative medications if needed; Until the wound heals completely, special antiseptic ointments or solution should be used after every bowel movement. Price list [surgeryabroad.eu]
Functionally, all patients treated with Ligasure showed more postoperative constipation despite administration of laxatives than patients treated with THD. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Avoiding constipation is crucial during convalescence. The doctor usually prescribes stool softeners and laxatives to prevent constipation. The patients are advised not to lift heavy weights during the recovery period. [medindia.net]
- Rectal Pain
Surgery is also considered when symptoms become so bothersome that your lifestyle is affected or when hemorrhoids create a medical emergency, such as uncontrolled bleeding or the appearance of blood and pus at the anus along with severe rectal pain. [amoils.com]
Common Causes of Rectal Pain The four common causes of the symptom of rectal pain, pressure, or discomfort are hemorrhoids, anal fissures, fleeting anal spasms (Proctalgia fugax), and other more constant muscle spasms (Levator ani syndrome). [emedicinehealth.com]
Workup
A metastatic workup ruled out any other site of malignancy. At follow-up 18 months after surgery, no evidence of malignancy or recurrence was observed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Slight pain rate was 58.3% in the treatment group higher than 22.9% in the control group; moderate pain rate was 33.3% in the treatment group lower than 56.3% in the control group severe pain rate was 8.4% in the treatment group lower than 20.8% in the [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Outlook (Prognosis) Most people do very well after hemorrhoid surgery. You should recover fully in a few weeks, depending on how involved the surgery was. [mountsinai.org]
What's the prognosis for a person with hemorrhoids? Most people with hemorrhoids have an excellent prognosis. [emedicinehealth.com]
Etiology
INTRODUCTION: Incidence and etiology of persistent pain after stapled hemorrhoidectomy remain uncertain. Characteristics, clinical course and management of this complication have not yet been assessed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Causes of hemorrhoids There were many researches about possible causes of hemorrhoids and some of them showed that this is a poly-etiological disease. There are several possible causes, which can provoke this condition. [steadyhealth.com]
Despite several years of study, the main etiology of hemorrhoidal disease is still largely unknown. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Pathophysiology
This allows for visualization of the amount of tissue that will be incorporated into the stapler and may have further applications in the future in treatment of anorectal pathophysiology. The steps of the procedure are outlined. [sages.org]
The pathophysiologic background of the treatment of hemorrhoidal disease by stapler is different than the pathophysiologic basis for excision hemorrhoidectomy, and is being controversially discussed. [jamanetwork.com]
The exact pathophysiology of hemorrhoids is poorly understood. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention
By strengthening the anal muscles via Kegel exercises, you can prevent internal hemorrhoids from enlarging or externalizing. Additionally, the increased blood circulation strengthens the veins in the rectum and prevents new hemorrhoids. [livestrong.com]
If on medication, some medication may be stopped for 3-4 days before hemorrhoidectomy to prevent excessive bleeding during the procedure. [hemroidshelp.com]
However, dietary fibers should be added gradually in order to prevent problems with gas build-up. [medindia.net]
