Background
We established the ligation and ablation of the fourth-degree internal hemorrhoid by elevation of the flaccid anoderm.
Patients and methods
We analyze the clinical result of this operation method.
Results
The average healing period with the technique used in the study was 21.3±0.68 days compared with the Milligan-Morgan technique of 24.2±0.92 days, and the complications and aftereffects were also less.
Conclusion
The study reports that the ligation and ablation of the fourth-degree internal hemorrhoid by elevation of the flaccid anoderm is very satisfactory rather than the former operation methods.
