Resumen
Introducción

La enfermedad hemorroidal tiene una gran incidencia en la población general y su tratamiento quirúrgico goza de escasa popularidad en función del dolor postoperatorio producido. En este sentido han aparecido nuevas técnicas de tratamiento quirúrgico que parecen mejorar el dolor postoperatorio de estos pacientes. La mucosectomía suprahemorroidal o high transection promulgada por Longo parece que se está constituyendo como una alternativa para el tratamiento de dicha enfermedad hemorroidal.

Objetivo

Realizamos un estudio prospectivo aleatorio doble ciego entre la hemorroidectomía de Milligan- Morgan frente a la técnica de Longo, en un grupo determinado de pacientes diagnosticados de enfermedad hemorroidal.

Material y métodos

En el estudio se incluyó a 60 pacientes diagnosticados de hemorroides de grados II, III o IV, y se obtuvo el consentimiento informado de cada paciente para ser intervenidos indistintamente por cualquiera de las dos técnicas quirúrgicas. Fueron intervenidos quirúrgicamente mediante técnica convencional (dos o tres grupos hemorroidales) o mucosectomía suprahemorroidal, a los dos grupos de pacientes. Se recogieron datos de la técnica, en cuanto al tiempo quirúrgico y las complicaciones inmediatas y tardías. Se analizaron el grado de dolor postoperatorio, duración y analgesia requerida, estancia hospitalaria e incorporación laboral. Los pacientes fueron visitados la primera, segunda y tercera semanas y al mes de la intervención. Posteriormente fueron consultados telefónicamente una vez al mes.

Resultados

El tiempo medio para la técnica de Milligan- Morgan fue de 13 min (rango, 10-16), frente a la de Longo de 16 min (rango, 13-18). En el grupo de mucosectomía no se registraron complicaciones frente al grupo de hemorroidectomía convencional en el que se registró una rectorragia postoperatoria. Durante el seguimiento se registraron una fisura anal y una estenosis anal moderada en el grupo de hemorroidectomía convencional.

Conclusión

En nuestra experiencia, la mucosectomía suprahemorroidal de Longo tiene unos resultados similares a la hemorroidectomía de Milligan-Morgan, pero con una disminución considerable del dolor postoperatorio, acortamiento de baja laboral y mayor grado de satisfacción.

Introduction

The incidence of hemorrhoids in the general population is high but the popularity of surgical treatment is limited by the postoperative pain it provokes. New surgical techniques have been developed that seem to reduce postoperative pain in these patients. Suprahemorrhoidal, or “high transection” mucosectomy, developed by Longo, is increasingly being used as an alternative in the treatment of hemorrhoids.

Objective

We performed a prospective, randomized, double-blind study of Milligan-Morgan vs. Longo hemorrhoidectomy in a specific group of patients diagnosed with hemorrhoids.

Material and methods

Sixty patients with a diagnosis of grade II, III or IV hemorrhoids were included in the study. Informed consent was obtained from each patient to undergo either of the two surgical techniques. Both groups of patients underwent surgery using conventional techniques (two or three hemorr- hoidal groups) or suprahemorrhoidal mucosectomy. Data were gathered on operating time as well as on the immediate and late complications of the techniques used. The degree of postoperative pain and its duration, the analgesia required, hospital stay, and return to work were analyzed. The patients were followed- up 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks after surgery. Subsequently, they were telephoned once a month.

Results

The mean operating time was 13 minutes (range: 10-16) for Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy compared with 16 minutes (range: 13-18) for Longo´s technique. No complications were found in the mucosectomy group. One case of postoperative rectorrhagia occurred in the conventional hemorrhoidectomy group. During follow-up one anal fissure and one moderate anal stenosis occurred in the conventional hemorrhoidectomy group.

Conclusion

In our experience, the results of Longo ´s suprahemorrhoidal mucosectomy are similar to those of Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy but Longo ´s technique reduces postoperative pain, hastens return to work and produces greater satisfaction.
