Traditionally, the surgery for treating acute incarcerated hemorrhoids cannot be done until the swelling subsides so as to prevent blood loss during surgery and possible complications after surgery. In Tzu Chi Hospital, an instrument LigaSure has been applied for the treatment. For LigaSure Hemorrhoidectomy, there’s no need to wait for the subsidence of the swelling; besides, it reduces both postoperative pain and has lower blood loss during surgery.
A mean pain score of 8.3 before surgery is dropped to 3.2 after surgery. Besides, there’s low recurrence rate. Through a long-term follow-up, the satisfaction rate for the operation is 92.1% and there are no wound infections. In the hospital, the number of treatment cases has been increased to reach 5000—the most patients in Taiwan.
The paper about the outcomes of the surgical treatment was published on Surgery and Surgery Today (June 2014; Vol 44). Besides, Reviewer reviewed “The Best Treatment Method for Grade III and IV Hemorrhoids” published by Taipei Tzu Chi General Hospital.
Doctors from Taichung General Hospital, Changhua Christian Hospital, Tungs’ Taichung MetroHarbor Hospital and China Medical University Hospital came to learn LigaSure Hemorrhoidectomy. In 2015, three doctors also came from Olaya Medical Center to learn the surgical technique.
In 2015, the hospital was awarded the Symbol of National Quality (SNQ) by Bio-Development Foundation.
Through the improvement of the administration process, the policy of “Same Day Surgery” came into force. 99.7 percent of patients with hemorrhoids chose LigaSure Hemorrhoidectomy. 97 percent of patients had the “Same Day Surgery” to reduce hospital-stay and costs.
