At University Hospital, Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy is performed using specialized colorectal surgical techniques and comprehensive assessment of the severity and type of hemorrhoidal disease. Established in 1842, this SAC accredited hospital in Basel, Switzerland has 773 beds and offers advanced proctology, colorectal surgery, minimally invasive procedures, and postoperative care services.

Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy may be considered for appropriately selected patients with symptomatic prolapsing internal hemorrhoids, particularly when conservative treatments have not provided sufficient relief. Before surgery, the colorectal specialist evaluates the degree of prolapse, bleeding, discomfort, bowel habits, and other anorectal symptoms. During the procedure, a circular stapler is positioned inside the anal canal to remove a band of mucosal tissue and reposition the prolapsed hemorrhoidal tissue.
