Navigating Towards Piles Operation
Introduction
Piles are also known as hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are collections of inflamed tissue in the anal canal. They
contain blood vessels, support tissue, muscle, and elastic fibers. Piles is a medical condition in which blood
vessels in the rectal mucosa dilate and form a mass in the anal canal .Sometime they may felt outside the anus.
This step is called as prolapsed hemorrhoids.
Hemorrhoids are classified as internal and external hemorrhoids. Internal piles are located between 2 and 4
centimeters (cm) above the opening of the anus, and they are the more commonly found in patients then external.
External piles occur on the outside edge of the anus. Hemorrhoids can occur due to pregnancy, increased
pressure caused by obesity, sitting or standing for long hours at a stretch, straining on the toilet, coughing,
sneezing, vomiting, and holding your breath while straining to do strenuous physical labor
Piles incidence is common in both with men and women. Those with improper diet habits and sedentary lifestyle
have a greater incidence of piles. According to recent health estimate, over 40% of the world population suffers
from piles and as many as 40% of the population have experience symptoms of the disease some time in their
life.
In India, Approx more than half of the patients belong to the age group of 21-50 years. Piles are also seen among
pregnant women. Though it is not clear what’s the actual cause of hemorrhoid is, researchers think this might be
an inherited condition of weak veins leading to hemorrhoid.
Advantages of Minimally Invasive procedure during Piles
It is very important to have a correct diagnosis first. So ask the patient to visit a doctor for proper diagnosis. If
detected early, piles can be cured with medication and life style change. In the later stages, surgery is a must and
there are various surgical procedures available to treat piles problems.
Mainly surgical options are classified as conventional which we call as piles operation and Minimally Invasive
Procedure for Hemorrhoids (MIPH). Since many years, piles patients have been operated through conventional
surgery approach. This approach will generally cost less but has various disadvantages such as patient may
experience pain after operation for 2-3 weeks, He might need hospital stay after operation for more than a week,
The surgical wounds need dressing for 2-3 weeks, On an average it takes 4-5 weeks for complete recovery and
also patient needs a frequent follow up with the doctor. Whereas Minimally Invasive Procedure has recently
started being recommended by surgeons around the country. This operation is performed with the help of a
stapler device and patient may go home on the same day.
