Management of intractable pain in patients treated with hemorrhoidectomy for mixed hemorrhoids.
Authors
Abstract
Post-hemorrhoidectomy pain is common, usually temporary, and responsive to analgesics. However, some patients experience prolonged, intractable anal pain, which is refractory to conventional analgesics and adversely effects quality of life. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a combination injection containing local anesthesia and steroids for the treatment of intractable post-hemorrhoidectomy anal pain.
