Summary

Triapedicular haemorroidectomy is currently the gold standard in haemorrhoidal pathology. Minimally invasive surgical techniques now play an important role in the haemorrhoidal management algorithm, particularly for less advanced stages of the disease. Among these techniques, radiofrequency is one of the most recent and is gradually gaining ground. It involves applying a radiofrequency current to the internal haemorrhoidal tissue in order to induce its involution.

The literature has shown that this technique leads to symptomatic improvement in over 60% of cases and a high satisfaction rate, even though some patients still seem to have haemorrhoidal symptoms postoperatively.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of this technique in patients with haemorrhoidal pathology operated on at our centre, using "hard" criteria which are thought to be more rigorous ("cure" rather than "improvement").
