Multicenter Clinical Research on Safety of Shearing Fracture Ligation Combining PPH in Treatment for Mixed Hemorrhoids

ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety of shearing fracture ligation combining procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids （PPH） in treatment for mixed hemorrhoids via a multicenter clinical study. MethodsTwo hundred and fortysix patients with mixed hemorroids were included from four a level of firstclass hospitals, which were averagely divided into shearing fracture ligation combining PPH group, PPH group, and shearing fracture ligation group according to the order of admission. The occurrence status of rectovaginal fistula, urethrorectal fistula, postoperative bleeding, acute urinary retention, anorectal stenosis, and anal incontinence were observed. And the anal function was evaluated by the anorectal pressure measurement. ResultsNo rectovaginal fistula or urethrorectal fistula happened among three groups. No anorectal stenosis happened in the shearing fracture ligation combining PPH group or the PPH group. The score of anorectal stenosis and anal incontinence in these two groups were lower than those in the shearing fracture ligation group (Plt;0.05). The rate of postoperative bleeding in the shearing fracture ligation combining PPH group was lower than that in the shearing fracture ligation group (Plt;0.05). There were acute urinary retentions happened among three groups, but without significant differences among them (Pgt;0.05). The anal canal resting pressure after operation was lower than that before operation among three groups (Plt;0.01), which in the shearing fracture ligation combining PPH group was lower than that in the shearing fracture ligation group after operation (Plt;0.05). There were no significant differences of the rectum feeling capacity or maximum rectum capacity between the shearing fracture ligation combining PPH group and PPH group before and after operation (Pgt;0.05), but compared with the level before operation in the shearing fracture ligation group, the rectum feeling capacity obviously decreased after operation (Plt;0.05), the maximum rectum capacity obviously increased (Plt;0.05). There were no significant differences of the maxinum anal canal systolic blood pressure between before and after operation in three groups and among three groups (Pgt;0.05). ConclusionsThe operation of shearing fracture ligation combined with PPH can protect the tissue of rectal cushion, remain the normal anatomy structure of anal canal. It has better clinical effect and is much safer than other methods.
