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

What this trial studies

This randomized controlled trial compares two surgical approaches for third- and fourth-degree hemorrhoids at Kasr Al-Ainy Teaching Hospital, Cairo University. Adults over 18 who meet criteria will be assigned to SHAPE or Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy after preoperative evaluation. Postoperative care includes early fluids, with discharge typically on day one if recovery is uneventful. Exclusion criteria include inflammatory bowel disease, anal stenosis, colorectal malignancy, or fecal incontinence. The study aims to determine differences in outcomes such as symptom relief and recovery between the two techniques.
