Hemorrhoids are one of the most common ailments among both men and women. Yet you may choose to suffer in silence, because you are embarrassed to bring up the subject to their doctor, or you may be concerned about traditional hemorrhoid surgery.

Dr. Dean Kyer offers an advance in hemorrhoid surgery that means less pain, faster healing, and fewer complications.

Called PPH - Procedure for Prolapse and Hemorrhoids, it offers many benefits, including a quicker return to normal activities and a shorter inpatient stay, as compared to traditional techniques.

 

FOR THE PHYSICIAN

Using a hemorrhoidal circular stapler device, the Procedure for Prolapse and Hemorrhoids essentially "lifts up," or repositions the anal canal tissue, and reduces blood flow to the internal hemorrhoids. These internal hemorrhoids, then, typically shrink within four to six weeks after the procedure.

PPH results in less pain than traditional hemorrhoidectomy procedures because it is performed above the "pain" line, or dentate line inside the anal canal. The advantage is, this hemorrhoid treatment method affects few nerve endings, while traditional hemorroidectomy procedures are performed below the dentate line, affecting many sensitive nerve endings.
