Uncut surgery to heal hemorrhoids, also known as THD surgery - Transanal hemorrhoidal surgery, is indicated to treat grade 2, 3 or 4 external hemorrhoids.
This surgery can be performed without cuts, causing no pain and recovery after surgery is usually rapid. In many cases this surgery may represent a cure for the disease, and it is unlikely that hemorrhoids will return and can be performed in Brazil in hospitals in São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro, for example.
How is THD surgery done?
In THD surgery, hemorrhoid is dried rather than cut as in Hemorrhoidectomy, thereby eliminating the hemorrhoid blood supply.
This is an uncut procedure, where the doctor uses an ultrasound device to identify the vessels that carry blood to the hemorrhoids. Once these vessels are identified, the doctor will stop the circulation of blood by sealing the artery, which causes the hemorrhoid to wilt and dry over time.
Advantages of THD Surgery
Surgery to remove hemorrhoids using the THD technique has advantages over the other techniques used, as it is less painful postoperatively and the risk of complications after surgery is lower. In addition, this surgery can be done only with sedation where the patient is only asleep, and general anesthesia is not necessary, and there is no need to stay in the hospital.
Is recovery from THD surgery for hemorrhoids quick?
Recovery from THD surgery is quick and simple, since discharge is usually given only a few hours after surgery and the patient can return to normal activities within 48 hours.
After the surgery you can feel some pain, which can be easily controlled by taking commonly prescribed painkillers such as Paracetamol, Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen, for example.
Where can I get this surgery to treat hemorrhoids?
This surgery can be performed in some hospitals such as Albert Einstein Hospital in São Paulo or Pro Cardiac Hospital in Rio de Janeiro, for example.
The Transanal Hemorrhoidal Dearterialization should be indicated by the proctologist who will evaluate if this surgery technique is or is not indicated for your case, as there are other techniques such as hemorrhoidectomy that, although more painful, may be more indicated for hemorrhoid removal.
