Fluid Restriction After Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy

July 1, 2020 updated by: Yi-Chiao Cheng, Tri-Service General Hospital

Do We Need Fluid Restriction After Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy? A Pilot, Double-Blinded, Randomized Controlled Trial

BACKGROUND: Conventional hemorrhoidectomy leads to a high urinary retention rate and fluid restriction is commonly recommended to minimize complications. However, the need for postoperative fluid restriction among patients who have undergone stapled hemorrhoidopexy is unclear. We aimed to determine whether fluid restriction after stapled hemorrhoidopexy with/without partial external hemorrhoidectomy could reduce urinary retention and postoperative pain.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: In this prospective, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial, we enrolled patients who had grade III or IV hemorrhoids and underwent stapled hemorrhoidopexy with/without partial external hemorrhoidectomy; 250 mL/12 h of sterile 0.9% saline was administered to the fluid restriction group after the operation, and 1000 mL/12 h was given to the non-fluid-restriction group. We focused on the need for fluid restriction after stapled hemorrhoidopexy.
