Compare hemorrhoid surgeries: standard removal vs stapling
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two surgical treatments for severe hemorrhoids: traditional excision versus a stapling procedure. It may help you and your care team choose the approach that works best for symptoms in grade III–IV hemorrhoids.

This trial is testing a combined treatment for hemorrhoids that are causing symptoms. It uses a technique to stitch the hemorrhoid tissue back in place (suture mucopexy) plus a laser to shrink blood vessels. The goal is to see if this approach works well for people with grades II, III, or IV hemorrhoids, even if they've had other treatments before.
This trial compares two less invasive energy-based treatments with standard surgery for people with grade III hemorrhoids. If you are between 18 and 75 and your hemorrhoids cause significant symptoms, this study may help find a gentler option.
This study compares two different surgical methods for treating severe hemorrhoids (third and fourth degree). The SHAPE procedure is a newer technique being tested against the traditional Milligan-Morgan approach to see which works better for pain relief and recovery.
This study tests a less invasive surgery for severe hemorrhoids (grades 3 and 4). If you have not had hemorrhoid surgery before and do not have other anal problems, you may be able to join.
This study compares two different surgical techniques for treating moderate to severe mixed hemorrhoids (both internal and external). The goal is to see which method provides better results and recovery.
This trial tests three different surgical methods for mixed hemorrhoids to see which one works best. It helps doctors understand which technique offers the best recovery and results.
