Minimally invasive surgical approaches for hemorrhoids include stapled hemorrhoidopexy (also known as procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids, or PPH) and rubber band ligation. Additionally, sclerotherapy—injecting a sclerosing agent into the hemorrhoidal tissue—is another minimally invasive treatment option. Key advantages of minimally invasive hemorrhoid treatments include rapid symptom relief, minimal tissue trauma, and swift recovery. These procedures also offer a relatively high cure rate. Following minimally invasive treatment, patients should pay close attention to dietary adjustments to support healing and prevent recurrence.
