An advanced tool in modern anorectal surgery, the Hemorrhoidal Stapler—also known as a circular or PPH stapler—is designed to treat internal hemorrhoidal prolapse with precision, minimal patient discomfort, and quicker recovery.
What It Is
The hemorrhoidal stapler is a specialized surgical instrument that removes a ring of prolapsed hemorrhoidal tissue and simultaneously staples the remaining lining back into its normal position. This effectively reduces blood supply to the hemorrhoids and repositions them, which leads to shrinkage and relief of symptoms.
Key Uses
-
Treatment of Prolapsed Hemorrhoids (Grades III & IV)
Ideal for internal hemorrhoids that have prolapsed and are not responsive to conservative treatments. -
Minimally Invasive Hemorrhoid Surgery
Avoids open wounds in the sensitive anal area, reducing postoperative pain and facilitating safer manipulation and excision of hemorrhoidal tissue. -
Efficient Surgical Workflow
A single device performs both resection and stapling, streamlining steps and reducing operating time.
Major Benefits
-
Reduced Postoperative Pain
By repositioning rather than cutting extensive tissue, it avoids sensitive perianal trauma, leading to lower pain levels after surgery. -
Faster Recovery & Early Return to Routine
Many patients resume normal activities within a few days, with full recovery typically within approximately two weeks. Discharge on the same or next day is common. -
Minimal Bleeding & Improved Healing
Precise tissue removal and staple closure result in less bleeding and enhanced wound healing with fewer complications. -
Shorter Hospital Stay
Day-care suitability and quicker recovery mean significantly shorter hospital stays. -
Consistent Results
The circular stapler ensures uniform stapling lines and repositioning, which promotes better outcomes and reduces recurrence risk.
What Surgeons and Patients Can Expect
-
High efficacy and safety, particularly when performed by experienced surgeons.
-
Staple line visibility reduces risk of postoperative complications, though transient issues like bleeding or minor discomfort can still occur.
-
Staples naturally fall out days to weeks after the surgery as tissue heals.
-
Long-term results are favorable, though recurrence can occur, reinforcing the need for proper patient selection and follow-up.
In Summary
The Hemorrhoidal Stapler offers a refined, safer alternative to traditional hemorrhoidectomy, combining minimally invasive technique, enhanced patient comfort, and efficient surgical workflow. At Universal Sutures, our stapler is designed to deliver consistent, high-quality performance—supporting surgeons in providing the best care for patients suffering from advanced internal hemorrhoidal disease.
