Reasons and countermeasure of complications after procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids

Objective To explore the reasons and countermeasure of the complications after proce-dure for prolapse and hemorrhoids(PPH).Methods From March 2006 to November 2007,a total of 78 patients with Ⅲ-and Ⅳ-degree hemorrhoids underwent PPH.The reasons and countermeasure of the complications were analyzed retrospectively.Results The average operation time time was(16.8±3.4)rain,the average blood loss was(12.0±2.1)ml,and the average hospitalization was(4.0±2.7)days.Patients were followed up for 1-20 months and(13.4±1.7) months for average,follow-up rate time was 92.3% (72/78).Comptications included urinary retention in 24 cases(33.3%),anastomotic bleedings in 5 cases (6.9%),reopelative hemostasis in 1 case(1.4%),postoperative pain of anal in 7 cases(9.7%),severe pain in 1 case(1.4%),slight encopresis in 1 case(1.4%),recurrence in 1 case(1.4%),2 cases(2.8%)were found stricture in rectum at 2,4 months after the procedure and no case appeared rectovaginal fistula.Con-clusion PPH forⅢ-and Ⅳ degree hemorrhoids is effective with fewer complications,which can be pre-vented by standard and skillful operation.
