Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study compares the outcomes of stapled hemorrhoidopexy with anoplasty to the traditional Ferguson hemorrhoidectomy for patients suffering from grade III and IV hemorrhoids. The research aims to evaluate both short- and long-term results of these surgical techniques, which are commonly used to address severe hemorrhoidal disease. Given the prevalence of hemorrhoids in the general population, this study seeks to determine which method provides better relief and fewer complications for patients. The study will include patients aged 25 to 75 who have severe symptoms and meet specific health criteria.
