Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare two techniques for treating hemorrhoids, the ligation and hemorrhoidopexy technique and the conventional ligation of hemorrhoidal arteries using ultrasound, in patients with non-complicated hemorrhoids.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Ligation and Hemorrhoidopexy

Identification through palpation and ligation of the hemorrhoidal nodules (3rd, 7th, 11th hour), using an absorbable polyglycolic acid suture (2-0, 5/8 inch needle). Prior to operation, the patients will be submitted to pudendal nerve block.

PROCEDURE

Ultrasound Guided Ligation of Hemorrhoidal Arteries

Ultrasound guided identification and ligation of the hemorrhoidal arteries, using an absorbable polyglycolic acid suture (2-0, 5/8 inch needle). Prior to operation, the patients will be submitted to spinal anesthesia.
