Reinterventions for specific technique-related complications of stapled haemorrhoidopexy (SH): a critical appraisal

Stapled haemorrhoidopexy (SH) is an attractive alternative to conventional haemorrhoidectomy (CH) because of reduced pain and earlier return to normal activities. However, complication rates are as high as 31%. Although some complications are similar to CH, most are specifically technique-related. In this prospective audit, we report our experience with the management of some of these complications.
