Abstract

Excisional haemorrhoidectomy is the gold standard for management of advanced symptomatic haemorrhoids. Although an effective treatment, it is associated with significant post-operative morbidity with pain, bleeding, and a high readmission rate. This study seeks to investigate potential risk factors that may predict unplanned 30-day readmissions following excisional haemorrhoidectomy.
