Abstract

Introduction: The aim of the thesis is a retrospective evaluation of the treatment effect in two groups of patients treated with Whitehead and Long procedure in the surgical department of our medical facility. Method: We evaluated a group of patients diagnosed with hemorrhoidal disease who underwent one of the above-mentioned surgical methods in 2017-2019. We focused on recording the age composition, gender, length of hospitalization and length of outpatient check-ups. Results: 80 patients were operated on in the given period. The average age was 54.2 years. The Whitehead’s surgery was performed on 20 patients. Three patients of them were operated on for acute problems. The average length of hospitalization from the day after the surgery was 4.3 days. The time from the end of the check-ups to full recovery was 115.7 days. Long’s surgery was performed on 60 patients. The average length of hospitalization was 2.6 days, the average duration of the examinations was 82.8 days. Conclusion: The Long’s surgery appears to be equivalent in performance to the Whitehead’s surgery, provided an appropriately chosen indication is performed by an experienced and educated surgeon.
