Objective: To evaluate the results of thrombectomy combined with vein stripping as an alternative to treat external thrombosed hemorrhoid disease.
Materials and methods: This is an observational, quantitative, retrospective, cross-sectional and descriptive study of the patients who underwent thrombectomy combined with vein stripping as an alternative technique to treat thrombosed external hemorrhoid disease at the Coloproctology Service of the Hospital Militar Central from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2016.
Results: It was found that 197 patients consulted due to thrombosed external hemorrhoids. 71% were men. The average age for the conservative treatment group vs. the surgical treatment group was 48.5 vs. 43.2 years, respectively. The average follow-up time after initiation of medical or surgical treatment was 16 months. In the surgical treatment group, the recurrence rate was 7.2% and the recurrence interval was 29.2 months.
Conclusions: Patients who underwent thrombectomy combined with vein stripping had a lower recurrence rate of thrombosed hemorrhoids, a lower pain score, and less postoperative bleeding. Hemorrhoid thrombectomy combined with vein stripping is a well-tolerated technique that can be performed at the doctor’s office without anesthesia, unlike the current management standard with external elliptical hemorrhoidectomy, which that requires local, regional, or general anesthesia, and a surgical room, leaving a larger skin defect following the resection of the tissue, with longer healing time and greater postoperative pain.
