What this trial studies

This observational study examines a minimally invasive closed hemorrhoidectomy performed for grade III–IV hemorrhoids. It compares the MIS approach using enhanced visualization and tissue-sparing techniques to traditional methods, focusing on safety and short- to mid-term recovery. Eligible adults undergoing excisional hemorrhoidectomy at Hospital Son Llatzer are enrolled with informed consent. Data on perioperative results, pain, wound healing, and complications will be collected and analyzed. The goal is to understand feasibility, tolerability, and potential benefits of MIS in this surgical context.
