Transanal Resection "Longo"
Hemorrhoids are one of the most unpleasant, physically and morally uncomfortable diseases. At the same time, both men and women often encounter it. The embarrassment to seek help most often leads to the fact that patients come already at the third, or even at the fourth stage of the disease. It is in such difficult and neglected situations that transanal mucosal resection using the Longo method will be an ideal assistant. This is the most lightweight operation to remove multiple hemorrhoids and rectal mucosa with prolapse. This method of removing internal hemorrhoids came to Ukraine not so long ago, and abroad this method has been used since 1993, when Antonio Longo developed this new approach in the treatment of hemorrhoids.
The causes of hemorrhoids and prolapse / prolapse of the rectal mucosa:
- Hereditary factor
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Prolonged standing or sedentary work
- Weight lifting
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
- Spicy food
- Alcohol
- Pregnancy
- Childbirth
- Stress
Indications for this surgical intervention:
- Prolapse of the rectal mucosa
- Chronic third and fourth stage hemorrhoids
- The formation of multiple internal hemorrhoids around the intestine
Contraindications:
- Pregnancy
- Lactation period
- Chronic diseases in the acute stage
The essence of the operation is that all the nodes and the altered mucous membrane of the rectum are removed and sutured with one click of a special "anal stapler". The company "Ethicon" produces these unique "staplers" for this operation, which have been used all over the world for more than two decades. In this case, the fact that the internal apparatus of the intestine is not damaged at all is very important. Also, the sphincter of the rectum is not injured and after the operation you will not have complications associated with this. The recovery period after this operation is more comfortable than with the classical method of removing hemorrhoids. It is also very important that the recovery is much faster than with the old methods of removing hemorrhoids.
Rehabilitation
For a day, sometimes for two days, you will be in our clinic under the supervision of specialists. During this period, you will be bandaged, injected with special drugs that will speed up your recovery and make this "special" period as comfortable as possible.
