What this trial studies

This observational study investigates a minimally invasive approach to hemorrhoidectomy for patients with Goligher grade III–IV hemorrhoids who require surgery. The procedure uses enhanced visualization and precision to reduce tissue injury compared with standard excisional methods. It aims to document safety, feasibility, and postoperative pain, healing, and recovery within the IDEAL framework for surgical innovation. Participants are adults undergoing surgery at Hospital Son Llatzer in Palma, with careful inclusion and exclusion criteria to select appropriate candidates. Data will describe outcomes and inform future refinement and broader evaluation of the technique.
