Abstract
With the newly available techniques for nonsurgical hemorrhoidectomy, surgical hemorrhoidectomy is being practiced much less frequently. However, for fourth-degree hemorrhoids and some third-degree hemorrhoids, a well-performed hemorrhoidectomy, with removal of the pathology and correction of the associated conditions, still remains the procedure of choice. A technique of closed hemorrhoidectomy with primary closure of the incisions and local anesthesia is described.
