PPH Procedure for Advanced Hemorrhoids Involves Less Pain and a Quicker Recovery

In clinical trials the Procedure for Prolapse and Hemorrhoids (PPH) has been shown to be a less painful procedure for removal of advanced hemorrhoids when compared to conventional hemorrhoidectomy. ^{3, 4, 5}

PPH is a technique that reduces the prolapse (enlargement) of hemorrhoidal tissue. With the PPH procedure, patients experience less pain and recover faster than patients who undergo conventional hemorrhoidectomy procedures.

Since the PPH procedure was first introduced in Italy in 1997, it has become a common procedure around the world for the surgical treatment of hemorrhoids. The procedure was first introduced in the United States in October 2001.

According to the American Society for Colon and Rectal Surgeons, the average person with symptomatic hemorrhoids suffers in silence for a long period of time before seeking medical care.

Embarrassment, fear of extreme pain, a long recovery associated with traditional hemorrhoidectomy, and fear of cancer all play a role in the delay in seeking treatment.
