Laser Haemorrhoidoplasty and Suture Mucopexy

Brief Summary

This prospective cohort study evaluates whether combining "suture mucopexy" (a simple stitch-based lift of prolapsed tissue) with Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP) can effectively relieve pain, bleeding and prolapse in adults with moderate-to-severe hemorrhoids (Grades II-IV). Participants will undergo the combined, non-Doppler-guided procedure and be followed for one year. The primary question is how long patients need post-operative pain medication and if they first experience complete symptom relief; secondary questions examine quality-of-life, safety (bleeding, urinary retention, stenosis) and the rate of hemorrhoid recurrence/re-operation.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults (\>18 years). * Symptomatic Hemorrhoidal Disease (Goligher Grades II, III, IV). * Patients with or without recurrent disease after prior procedures (e.g., RBL, infrared coagulation, Milligan-Morgan, etc). Exclusion Criteria: * Acutely thrombosed hemorrhoids. * Concomitant anal fistula or abscess requiring separate surgical management. * IBD (Crohn's/Ulcerative Colitis) with active rectal involvement. * Previous Stapled Haemorrhoidopexy (SH/Longo).
