Stapled hemorrhoidectomy is a misnomer for the reason that surgery does not remove the hemorrhoids however, relatively, the abnormally lax and expanded hemorrhoidal supporting tissue that has allowed the hemorrhoids to prolapse downward. For stapled hemorrhoidectomy, a circular, hollow tube is inserted into the anal canal. Through this tube, a suture (a long thread) is positioned, really woven, circumferentially throughout the anal canal above the inner hemorrhoids. The ends of the suture are brought out of the anus by way of the hollow tube. The stapler (a disposable instrument with a circular stapling machine at the tip) is positioned by means of the primary hollow tube and the ends of the suture are pulled. Pulling the suture pulls the expanded hemorrhoidal supporting tissue into the jaws of the stapler. The hemorrhoidal cushions are pulled again up into their regular place inside the anal canal. The stapler then is fired. When it fires, the stapler cuts off the circumferential ring of expanded hemorrhoidal tissue trapped within the stapler and at the identical time staples collectively the upper and lower edges of the cut tissue.
