SHAPE Versus Milligan-Morgan Hemorrhoidectomy for Hemorrhoidal Disease
Early Outcomes of Skin-Sparing Hemorrhoidectomy and PExy (SHAPE) Versus Milligan-Morgan Hemorrhoidectomy for Hemorrhoidal Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This study will be conducted at the General Surgery Department, Kasr Al-Ainy Teaching Hospital, Cairo University, on patients presenting with third- and fourth-degree hemorrhoids. Adult patients older than 18 years who fulfill the inclusion criteria and provide informed consent will be enrolled. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease, anal stenosis, colorectal malignancy, or fecal incontinence will be excluded.
All patients will undergo detailed preoperative assessment including medical and surgical history, evaluation of anal symptoms, local anorectal examination, digital rectal examination, and routine laboratory investigations.
Participants will be randomized into two groups: Group A will undergo Skin-Sparing Hemorrhoidectomy and PExy (SHAPE), while Group B will undergo conventional Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy.
Postoperatively, oral fluids will be allowed after 2 hours and normal diet resumed as tolerated. Patients will be discharged on the first postoperative day unless otherwise indicated. Follow-up visits will assess postoperative pain, complications, and surgical outcome

Descripción detallada
This randomized controlled study will be conducted at the General Surgery Department, Kasr Al-Ainy Teaching Hospital, Cairo University, on patients presenting with third- and fourth-degree hemorrhoids. Adult patients older than 18 years who fulfill the inclusion criteria and provide informed consent will be included in the study. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease, anal stenosis, colorectal malignancy, or pre-existing fecal incontinence will be excluded.
Patients attending the outpatient clinic with symptoms suggestive of hemorrhoidal disease will be assessed according to the study criteria. After explaining the purpose and nature of the study, informed written consent will be obtained. All patients will undergo detailed preoperative evaluation including complete medical and surgical history, assessment of symptoms such as pain, bleeding, prolapse, discharge, and pruritus ani, in addition to local anorectal examination and digital rectal examination. Routine preoperative laboratory investigations will be performed for all patients, while colonoscopy will be requested in selected cases to exclude colorectal malignancy or other causes of lower gastrointestinal bleeding.
Participants will be randomly allocated into two groups. Group A will undergo Skin-Sparing Hemorrhoidectomy and PExy (SHAPE), which involves selective excision of hemorrhoidal tissue above the dentate line with preservation of anoderm followed by mucopexy using Vicryl sutures. Group B will undergo conventional Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy with excision of hemorrhoidal tissue, pedicle ligation, and preservation of skin bridges.
Postoperatively, oral fluids will be initiated after 2 hours and regular diet resumed as tolerated. Most patients will be discharged on the first postoperative day unless otherwise indicated. Patients will be reviewed twice weekly during the first postoperative week, weekly for the first month, and monthly thereafter to assess pain using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), wound healing, postoperative complications, and surgical outcomes.

Experimental: Skin-Sparing Hemorrhoidectomy and PExy (SHAPE)
Patients will be conducted to skin sparing hemorrhoidectomy and PExy (SHAPE)
|
The procedure involves the selective excision of the hemorrhoidal columns ensuring that the dissection will be initiated cranial to the dentate line, with a preserved margin of at least 5 mm from it.
This approach aims to maintain anoderm integrity while effectively addressing both internal and external hemorrhoidal components Following the line of dissection, a mucopexy will be performed using Vicryl 2/0 (polyglactin 910) .
This step not only ensured adequate fixation of the prolapsed mucosa but also facilitated a lifting and smoothing effect on the external cutaneous component.

Comparador activo: Milligan-Morgan Hemorrhoidectomy
Patients will be conducted to Milligan-Morgan Hemorrhoidectomy
|
A V-shaped incision is made using a cutting cautery device in the skin surrounding the base of the hemorrhoid.
Then dissection in the submucousal plane will be done by cautery to strip the hemorrhoid from its bed.
The dissection will be continued in the cranial direction up to the pedicle.
The pedicle will be then double ligated with a 2/0 vicryl suture, and the distal part of the hemorrhoid will be excised.
The same steps will be carried out regarding the other hemorrhoids ( if present), leaving a skin bridge at least one centimeter between them to avoid anal stenosis.
The wound will be left open, and an external pack of gauze will be applied.
