Stapler Haemorrhoidopexy

Stapler haemorrhoidopexy, also known as the MIPH or Longo procedure, treats prolapsing haemorrhoids by using a circular stapling device to remove a ring of tissue above the haemorrhoids and pull the prolapsed cushions back into their normal position. Because the stapling occurs above the sensitive dentate line, patients typically experience less pain than with conventional haemorrhoidectomy. It is particularly effective for circumferential grade III and IV haemorrhoids with significant prolapse. The technique also interrupts blood flow to the haemorrhoidal tissue, helping it shrink over time.
