Hemorrhoids or hemorrhoid pathology is the most frequently encountered proctological disease. It is estimated that about 50 percent of the population over the age of 50 in most industrialized countries suffer or have suffered from disorders related to hemorrhoidal disease (hemorrhoids).

The most innovative surgical procedure with regard to the treatment of hemorrhoids is THD (Transanal Hemorrhoidal Arterial Dearterialization), a method that is performed by means of an apparatus to which an anoscope, specially constructed for this use, is connected.

THD is a pioneering method in the treatment of hemorrhoids because it revolutionizes the surgical approach to hemorrhoid disease, ensuring maximum effectiveness of results and minimizing the levels of invasiveness, pain and stress for the patient.

The method that includes dearterization, that is, the selective identification and ligation of the terminal branches of the superior rectal artery, is mucopoxy, that is, the repositioning, thanks to submucosal stitches given from the point of ligation of the artery to the pectine line, of the pads in their natural anatomical location; all under local anesthesia with sedation, so that the patient can restore normal physiology and a rapid post-operative recovery, and without tissue removal. Therefore, in the postoperative period, discomfort for the patient is reduced compared to more invasive methods.
