Moreover, randomized controlled trials report better results for conventional hemorrhoidectomy2- 3; stapled hemorrhoidectomy is a safe technique but carries a significantly higher incidence of recurrence and additional operations when compared with conventional hemorrhoidectomy.4 Conventional hemorrhoidectomy (Milligan Morgan or Ferguson techniques) can reduce hospital costs in the United States by €256 million and by nearly €32 million ($US 45 million) in Italy, France, and England. In my opinion, it is very important to avoid the loss of public money in this time of economic recession.
