Is minimally invasive surgery or traditional surgery better for internal hemorrhoids prolapse?
If the patient has only internal hemorrhoids prolapse without external hemorrhoids, it is better to opt for minimally invasive surgery, as it causes less damage and allows for faster postoperative recovery. Clinically, the TST surgical method is often recommended to avoid postoperative anal stenosis. However, if the internal hemorrhoids prolapse is accompanied by severe external hemorrhoids, it is advisable to opt for the traditional external peeling and internal ligation surgery, as this method can also effectively address external hemorrhoids, avoiding the need for a second surgery. Postoperatively, the use of anal cleansers, potassium permanganate solution, golden ointment, red oil ointment gauze, and hemorrhoid suppositories for dressing changes can promote recovery. Additionally, postoperative patients should avoid certain foods and maintain smooth bowel movements to prevent infections, swelling, and bleeding, which will aid in recovery.
