Comparing two surgeries for severe mixed hemorrhoids
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two surgical methods for severe (grade III-IV) mixed hemorrhoids: a newer technique that removes and lifts the hemorrhoid tissue, versus the standard Milligan-Morgan procedure. The goal is to see which approach gives better symptom relief and faster recovery with fewer complications, helping patients like you choose the best option.

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 three different surgical techniques for treating mixed hemorrhoids (internal and external hemorrhoids). The goal is to find which approach leads to better recovery and fewer complications.
This trial compares two surgical approaches for advanced (grade III or IV) hemorrhoids. One is a newer sutureless technique and the other the standard ligation (tying) method. It aims to see which provides better relief from symptoms like bleeding and pain.
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures for treating grade II-III internal hemorrhoids. Both are done through a scope and aim to reduce symptoms with less pain and faster recovery than traditional surgery.
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 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.
