LHP, mucopexy, and excisional haemorrhoidectomy

Results of the double-blind randomized controlled trial comparing laser hemorrhoidoplasty with sutured mucopexy and excisional hemorrhoidectomy
International journal of colorectal disease

Randomised trial · 121 patients · Grade II–III haemorrhoids · Single centre

Findings: LHP was less painful than excision. Return to activity: 15 days after LHP, 22 after mucopexy, and 30 after excision.

Points to consider: Recurrence requiring treatment at one year: LHP 10%, mucopexy 22%, excision 0%. Recovery comfort should be considered alongside durability of results.

Device & relevance: 1470 nm diode laser; this summary does not assume equivalence across all biolitec models.
