Core Tip

Core tip: This study included 54 patients with rectal prolapse hemorrhoids and compared procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) with a traditional operation. The PPH group had a significantly shorter operative time, shorter hospital stay, and lower incidence of postoperative edema perianal, postoperative pain, and sensory incontinence compared to the group receiving traditional surgical treatment. PPH surgery has an obvious effect that can be widely used in clinical treatment.
