RESULTSThere were no significant differences in hospital expenses,postoperative complications between the two groups,but the postoperative pain scores of Ligasure haemorrhoidectomy was better than that of traditional operation. The hospital stay and operation time of Ligasure haemorrhoidectomy were shorter than those of the traditional operation.
CONCLUSIONLigasure vessel sealing system has more advantages such as less pain, safety, facility to perform, and a shorter operation time.
