Ligasure vs. Conventional Diathermy in Hemorrhoidectomy

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 prospective, interventional study compares two surgical approaches for hemorrhoidectomy: Ligasure and conventional diathermy. Forty patients with symptomatic hemorrhoids requiring surgery are assigned to one of two groups, undergoing hemorrhoidectomy with either Ligasure or standard diathermy. Outcomes include duration of postoperative pain, intraoperative and postoperative bleeding, time to return to work, itching after surgery, and time to resume normal life. The study is conducted at Sohag University, with Mohamad Refaey Mohamed as the site contact, and excludes patients with other rectal/anal pathologies, recurrent hemorrhoids, or other contraindications. The aim is to determine if Ligasure offers advantages in perioperative recovery and early return to daily activities.
