Treating common benign anal diseases has evolved towards more outpatient procedures with better outcome. However, minimizing post-procedure morbidities such as pain and the avoidance incontinence remain the most significant concerns. We introduce some controversies and highlight the developments in current surgical practice for the treatment of common anal problems.
AIM: Stapled haemorrhoidopexy is being increasingly integrated into the available options for treatment of haemorrhoidal disease. This study aimed to investigate the postoperative complications encountered in New Zealand up to December 2003. METHOD: A postal survey was conducted of surgeons who perform stapled haemorrhoidopexy in New Zealand. RESULTS: 28 of 29 surgeons responded. Reports on complications, including postoperative bleeding, urinary retention, sepsis, rectovaginal fistula, faecal incontinence, faecal urgency, anal stricture and persistent anal pain, and incidence of residual disease were encouraging and comparable with other studies. CONCLUSION: Stapled haemorrhoidopexy is becoming increasingly accepted by New Zealand surgeons as data and experience continue to be reassuring on the safety and efficacy of the procedure.
