“STARR minimally invasive surgery” challenges “traditional hemorrhoid surgery”

With the introduction and successive development of “STARR minimally invasive surgery” in general surgery, it challenges the “traditional hemorrhoid surgery” with the advantages of simple operation, short operation time, small trauma, less post-operative pain and fewer complications. What is the difference between “STARR”, a minimally invasive procedure that is still emerging, and “traditional hemorrhoid surgery”? “The traditional hemorrhoid surgery can do more harm than good,” said Hu Junhong of the Department of General Surgery at Henan University Huaihe Hospital. The soft venous mass formed by the expansion and flexion of the venous plexus under the mucous membrane at the end of the human rectum and the skin of the anal canal is called hemorrhoids, also known as hemorrhoids, hemorrhoids, hemorrhoids, hemorrhoid disease, etc. The medical term hemorrhoids includes internal hemorrhoids, external hemorrhoids, and mixed hemorrhoids, which is a chronic disease of one or more soft venous masses formed by varicose veins at the base of the anorectum and anal mucosa. Left untreated, hemorrhoids can cause anemia, impaction, necrosis and infection. He said that traditional hemorrhoid surgery aims to remove the nucleus of the hemorrhoid or use mechanical methods such as stitches to make it embolized or atrophied, which can block blood circulation in the anus and easily produce bruising and edema, pain, and difficulty in defecation, etc. If you are not careful, you will easily relapse, and the surgery may lead to sequelae such as fecal incontinence, which shows that traditional hemorrhoid surgery will definitely be replaced by a more advanced technology, which is minimally invasive and painful treatment technology. STARR technology, as a representative of minimally invasive hemorrhoid surgery, has been recognized by the industry at home and abroad. “STARR technology” – “small surgery” to solve “big problems” STARR (Stapled transanal The STARR (Stapled transanal resection, STARR) procedure, also known as “Smart STARR minimally invasive surgery”, is a cutting-edge technique for the treatment of hemorrhoids and outlet obstruction type constipation. It uses a disposable curved cutting anastomosis device, scientifically placed curved resector, and 3 layers of longitudinal and transverse titanium staples in front and behind the anastomosis, to selectively resect the rectal mucosa and submucosal tissues without destroying the normal physiological function of the anal cushion and avoiding postoperative rectal stenosis. Minimally invasive treatment of hemorrhoids, STARR minimally invasive surgery in the treatment of anorectal diseases breaks through the traditional treatment drawbacks: it has selective resection of rectal mucosa, protecting the function of the anus and rectum; minimally invasive technology is less traumatic, less postoperative pain, less complications, and faster recovery; the operation is simple and convenient, and the operation time is short, which is the ideal method for treating anorectal diseases unanimously recognized by the medical profession. It is suitable for single or simple internal hemorrhoids and mixed hemorrhoids, circumferential internal hemorrhoids and circumferential mixed hemorrhoids, rectal polyps and rectal adenomas, rectal prolapse, rectal mucosal prolapse, hemorrhoid prolapse combined with anal fissure, anal fistula, perianal abscess and outlet obstruction type constipation, etc. As the saying goes, “nine out of ten people have hemorrhoids”. “The new technology, which is labeled “people-friendly”, will soon be recognized by people and benefit the majority of patients.
