The Procedure for Prolapse and Hemorrhoids (PPH)
procedure reduces the prolapsed mucosa and restores anal tissue to its
original anatomical position. This hemorrhoid operation results in less pain
than traditional procedures because it is performed above the dentate the area
where a person would feel pain inside the anal canal. Traditional procedures
are performed below the dentate line, affecting many sensitive nerve endings.
PPH surgery patients have been shown to experience less pain and a faster
recovery (i.e. return to normal activities, such as work) than patients who
undergo a traditional repair operation.
