The surgical removal of haemorrhoids.
Hemorrhoidectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove haemorrhoids. It is utilized to treat large, prolapsing, or bleeding haemorrhoids when other simpler methods, such as banding, have not achieved the desired results.
The recovery period following a haemorrhoidectomy typically lasts three to six weeks. Laxative medications are commonly prescribed during this time to soften the stool and facilitate easier bowel movements.
