A surgical solution to hemorrhoids is normally guaranteed to come with one thing:  pain!  But not, it seems, anymore. . .

The clever surgeons at THD Lab have devised a new technique that cures even the most serious cases of piles.  A long line of happy patients report that following the THD surgery they have been able to return to work and even physical activity – usually within a couple of days.  Given that a hemorrhoidectomy normally involves a very long recovery period (and lots and lots of pain) this almost sounds good to be true.  But it seems that there is some clever science behind it.

So how does it work?

In short, the surgery cuts off some of the blood supply to the hemorrhoid.  As I’m sure you know, piles can be incredibly painful (not to mention uncomfortable) because of the pressure of all that blood building up inside.  So a treatment that reduces the blood flow sounds like it can only be a good thing.

The medical term for this is: haemorrhoidal artery ligation.   (Note the spelling “haemorrhoidal” –  this is a the European spelling as the treatment originates from there).

The basic steps are:

1.  The THD surgeon inserts a small plastic (and transparent) device into the anus.  He or she then detects the artery that supplies the hemorrhoid.

2.  A hooked shaped needle is then passed out of the probe and loops surgical thread around the artery.  (This is the “ligation” part).

3.  The thread is looped round the artery as needed and “tied off.  The THD device is then removed.

4.  Another device called a “surgy” is then inserted.  The THD surgeon then performs a “pexis” which means that he loops more surgical thread through the skin tissue next to the artery.  They then pull the loops tight therby moving the tissue higher up into the anal passage.  Technically this is known as “Lifting of mucosal prolapse.”  The THD surgy device is then removed.

5.  The original THD device is then reinserted and a quick check of the area is carried out.  It is then repeated on other arteries if needed.
