Conclusion Our present study shows that stapled haemorrhoidectomy is a safe and very well tolerated procedure with low post operative analgesic requirements, high patient satisfaction and early return to work. The majority of patients could avoid an overnight stay which would make this procedure suitable for day surgery. Introduction. Since Longo first described it in 1. Stapled Haemorrhoidectomy SH has been emerging as the procedure of choice for symptomatic haemorrhoids. Several studies have shown it to be a safe, effective and relative complication free procedure with fewer days off work, reduced requirement for analgesia and rapid discharge 2 4. Historically symptomatic haemorrhoids have been dealt with by simple dietary modification, injection sclerotherapy, cryotherapy, band ligation and surgery 5 7. Unfortunately there is no single optimum therapeutic option. Surgery for symptomatic haemorrhoids was popularised by the open MilliganMorgan technique in the late 1. Unfortunately, this has been associated with postoperative pain, the risk of severe haemorrhage, and more concerning the risk of anal stenosis especially if skin bridges are not maintained and sphincter injury. Controversy exists as regards to the overall safety and acceptability of SH. On the one hand recent reports of SH have been positive especially in regards reduced postoperative pain and recovery and adverse functional sequelae. A study by Pavlitidsi  et al 8 included 8. Longo procedure group 1 or Milligan Morgan hemorrhoidectomy group 2 under epidural anesthesia. SH had better postoperative pain scores with lower mean epidural morphine requirement and mean hospital stay. Conversely, a recent review from New Zealand 9 suggested that SH was more expensive, and the results should be looked upon with caution. Several studies have suggested that SH may be safely performed as a Day case procedure. Patients following SH had reduced, post operative pain, hospital stay, analgesic requirements and earlier return to work 2. Day Surgery procedures have been at the forefront of recent changes within the NHS in the fight to reduce waiting times and better patient care. It is not only popular with patients who are able to recover and convalesce at home in a familiar environment but also reduce the chances of a hospital acquired infection and large cost saving implications for the NHS. However, not every surgical procedure is amenable for Day surgery, and thus procedures which require only moderate amounts of analgesia, reduced post operative stay and few complications and further in 2. Audit Commission included Haemorrhoidectomy as one of its 2. Day Surgery  2. 4. Therefore the present study was to look critically at the learning curve, operative complications, duration of hospital stay, analgesic requirements, cost effectiveness and patient satisfaction in at the personal series of the first 6. SH at Watford General Hospital, a District General Hospital in Hertfordshire, United Kingdom. The aim of the present work was to determine the suitability of SH as a routine day surgery procedure which is not routine in the UK. Patients and Methods. From June 2. 00. 1 to May 2. It was routine practice that stapled haemorrhoidectomy was performed by one dedicated surgical team JIL. Informed consent was obtained in writing prior to surgery. During induction at least a single dose of prophylactic antibiotics of either a third generation cephalosporin or co amoxiclav was administered. In brief, under general anaesthesia, the patient is put in lithotomy position and a rigid sigmoidoscopy done to exclude any rectal lesions. Stay sutures with 2 0 silk are applied at the 3, 6, 9 1. The anus is dilated using with a proctoscope. An anal ring is applied and fixed to the anal verge by the previously taken stay sutures. The inner end of the ring must be reaching beyond the dentate line. Purse strung sutures are taken all around the anal mucosa on top of the haemorrhoids beyond the dentate line followed by a per rectal examination to make sure that the muscle layer is not taken within the sutures so as to avoid postoperative anal stenosis. Similarly, in female patients, per vaginal examination is done to insure that vaginal wall is not taken within the sutures. A specialized circular stapler is introduced into the anal canal and the two ends of the purse strung sutures are passed through special holes in the stapler and tied. Stapler is tightened the indicator reads between 3 4 cm depth and fired. The stapler is kept closed in place compressing them for 3. The staples line then is checked for bleeding points, for which 20 vicryl under running sutures may be use for further haemostasis. Finally, the anus is packed with spongistan as well as flagyl and voltarol suppositories. Post operatively both groups were discharged when comfortable. Complications where noted as they occurred during the follow up period at 4 weeks. Furthermore, a further telephone follow up during July 2. II. The data was reviewed and analysed in conjunction with our department of medical statistics. Analysis was performed using the Mann U test. Multivariate analysis of the means was performed using the Krushal Wallis Test. Results. Of the 6. The mean age was 4. Only 7 patients suffered with hypertension and one with diabetes mellitus. There presenting complaints included rectal bleeding bright red in 8. Other complaints included a sensation of something coming down n3, change in bowel habit n2, constipation n1, and incontinence n1.

There were no major complications although the majority of patients warranted oversewing of bleeding points around the staple line after the stapling procedure. Post operative hospital stay revealed that 8. Voltarol Table 1. At routine follow up at 1 month, we found that nine patients 1. Only one patient had developed a peri anal heamatoma, which was evacuated under local anaesthesia in the Outpatient Department. Further, only two patients had significant problems.
