Sutureless hemorrhoidectomy versus standard ligation for advanced hemorrhoids
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
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 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 studies a procedure that blocks blood flow to bleeding hemorrhoids (called superior rectal arterial embolization). It may help people with hemorrhoid bleeding who are being considered for treatment, especially when bleeding is significant.
This study tests how safe and well a hemorrhoid treatment device (PexyEazy®) works for adults with moderate-to-severe hemorrhoids (grade II–III). You may be a candidate if you fit the hemorrhoid grade and medical safety requirements and can follow the study plan.
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 study compares two surgeries for internal hemorrhoids: a newer laser treatment that aims to reduce pain versus the traditional open surgery. If you have painful internal hemorrhoids, this trial may help you find a less painful recovery option.
