Excision of thrombosed hemorrhoid

What is Pile Thrombus Removal?

A thrombosed hemorrhoid is an external hemorrhoid with a blood clot, causing severe pain, swelling, and discomfort. Removal of the clot provides immediate relief and prevents further complications. This procedure is recommended for patients experiencing:

• Severe pain and swelling around the anus.
• A hard, bluish lump near the anal opening.
• Difficulty sitting, walking, or passing stool.
• Persistent bleeding or discomfort that does not improve with medication.

How is the Procedure Performed?

• A small incision is made over the thrombosed hemorrhoid.
• The blood clot is carefully removed to relieve pressure and pain.
• The area is cleaned and left open or sutured, depending on the severity.
• The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and most patients can return home the same day with post-operative care instructions.
