Abstract
Complaints attributable to hemorrhoidal disease are common. The majority of hemorrhoidal presentations can be managed with non-operative treatments; however, in some circumstances procedural intervention is required. Surgical hemorrhoidectomy is usually reserved for patients who are refractory to office procedures or who are unable to tolerate office procedures. This work reviews the most commonly used techniques for the operative palliation of hemorrhoidal complaints.
