Is the cost of traditional hemorrhoidectomy surgery high?

Traditional hemorrhoid surgery is relatively simple, but it has a large trauma and the patient's recovery is slower. The cost of traditional hemorrhoid surgery is generally between 1,000 and 2,000 yuan, but the cost varies depending on different regions, hospitals, and surgical methods.

1. Traditional hemorrhoid surgery:

Traditional hemorrhoid surgery is a mixed hemorrhoid external dissection and internal ligation procedure, which is a surgical method for mixed hemorrhoids. External dissection and internal ligation involves stripping and ligating the internal hemorrhoids from the outside to the inside, removing the ligation line to the root of the hemorrhoid to prevent recurrence. This surgery has less trauma, faster recovery, and patients can usually be discharged from the hospital within 3-5 days after surgery, so the overall cost is relatively low. However, if patients undergo traditional hemorrhoid surgery at private medical institutions, the cost may increase.

2. High-end outpatient surgery:

If traditional hemorrhoid surgery is chosen at a municipal tertiary hospital, due to the high hospital level, advanced medical equipment, and high technical level of doctors, the surgical cost may be higher than that of ordinary outpatient clinics, but the overall cost is generally not too high.

3. Semicircular canal obstruction surgery:

Some hospitals perform semicircular canal obstruction surgery while performing traditional hemorrhoid surgery. During the surgery, an anastomotic device is used to circularly suture the mucosa above the rectum and dentate line, reducing the tension of the anastomosis and thus reducing the incidence of postoperative anal stenosis. Since the anastomotic device has a built-in structure, it will not cause significant defecation dysfunction after surgery, and its overall cost is relatively high.

4. PPH surgery:

Based on traditional hemorrhoid surgery, some patients will also undergo PPH surgery, which is the procedure of stapled hemorrhoidopexy. PPH surgery has a shorter hospital stay and faster recovery after surgery, but the anastomosis nails generally need to fall off spontaneously, so the overall cost is relatively high.
