This new surgical concept corrects prolapse by means of the circumferential excision and shortening of the supra-haemorrhoidal rectal mucosa. The operation involves the lifting and fastening of the anal mucosa and of the haemorrhoidal piles in their natural anatomical site.
Ethicon Endo-Surgery has created a specific kit to support this type of operation with the aim of standardizing the procedure and making it easier and safer to carry out. The kit includes: a circular stapler with a larger staple hosing, a circular anal dilator and a fenestrated anoscope.
The results of the tens of thousands of operations performed so far with the correct technique have confirmed that this method is suitable for a definitive cure of haemorrhoidal complications and continence disorders.
