Abstract

Introduction: Haemorrhoids, a common disorder that seriously impairs the quality of life and causes great pain. LIGASURE and laser haemorrhoidectomy have become popular modern treatments for Grade 2-3 haemorrhoids among available techniques. However, little is known about the relative effectiveness, safety, and effect on patient compliance of these modalities. This study aims to close this gap by thoroughly examining the outcomes and their relationship with patient compliance after laser and LIGASURE haemorrhoidectomy. Methodology: This prospective, observational compared the outcomes of LIGASURE and laser haemorrhoidectomy procedures in 20 patients diagnosed with Grade 2-3 haemorrhoids, with 10 patients allocated to each treatment group. Data collection included preoperative assessments, intraoperative observations, and postoperative follow-up evaluations, focusing on pain scores, postoperative bleeding, wound healing, and changes in haemorrhoid volume and stage. Patient compliance was assessed using a standardized questionnaire-based scoring system. Statistical analyses involved descriptive statistics and comparative analyses using t-tests, chi-square tests, and regression analyses.
