Abstract EN
The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the outcome of a tissue-selecting therapy stapler (TST) for prolapsing hemorrhoids in HIV-infected patients.
Sixty-two patients with stage III-IV hemorrhoidal prolapse were treated with TST by a single surgeon between June and November 2014.
The TST group comprised 32 patients (4 females), and the TST + HIV group comprised 30 HIV-infected patients (3 females).
Age, gender, and preoperative examination as well as intraoperative and postoperative features were assessed.
There was no marked difference in hemorrhoidal prolapse between the TST and HIV + TST groups, except for patient satisfaction at 12 months.
TST is an effective and safe technique for treatment of prolapsing hemorrhoids in HIV-infected patients.
