Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Stapled anopexy is a new approach for haemorrhoids requiring surgical treatment. This study reviews the available information concerning the present results of this procedure. METHODS: Medline and hand search of the literature was conducted to identify available information on the procedure, with a special interest for the on-going or published randomized clinical trials. RESULTS: The advantages of the stapled approach of haemorrhoids were analyzed in the different areas of concern, including postoperative pain reduction, length of hospital stay and sick-leave, postoperative wound care and type and rate of complications. Continence status, symptom cure and patient satisfaction following stapled anopexy are also reported. CONCLUSION: Stapled anopexy is probably less painful than conventional haemorrhoidectomy. Other advantages in the short term result from this new approach. Long term efficacy of the procedure is still unknown.
