Abstract
Prospective randomized study of 28 patients with III-IV staged hemorrhoids was performed. The main group of patients (n=14) was operated by an ultrasonic scalpel. The control group patients (n=14) were operated by standard Milligan-Morgan’s method of hemorrhoidectomy. It was shown that ultrasonic scalpel gave us ability to decrease surgical intervention duration, intraoperative hemorrhage, pain level intensity in early postoperative period and to improve quality of patients’ life and rehabilitation period duration.
