Summary

The primary aim of the current study is to evaluate and compare 6-month complication rates after thrombectomy and local excision treatments.

The investigators aim to compare thrombectomy and local excision treatments in many different aspects:

* The investigators will follow these patients for 6 months by scheduling follow-up visits (or by phone if the patient cannot attend) 4 times during this period (1st week, 1st month, 3rd month, 6th month).
* The investigators will examine bleeding, pain, anal stricture/stenosis, infection, time until return to normal daily activity, relapse and incontinence after treatment
* To assess quality of life outcomes, the investigators use the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). These measures rely upon patient self-reporting and are utilized for routine monitoring and assessment of care outcomes in patients.
* The investigators will use the Wexner incontinence score for assessment of incontinence.

In each hospital, medical students, residents and surgeons can be involved in the study. In the following 6-month period, all collaborators will be collecting the data of the patients who have been operated for external hemorrhoids via the thrombectomy or local excision procedures.
