See costs Learn about haemorrhoid surgeryThis short animation explains how and why the haemorrhoid is removed. What are haemorrhoids? Haemorrhoids, (also known as ‘piles’) are swollen veins. There are two types of haemorrhoids, internal and external. Internal haemorrhoids originate higher up in your anus and are found inside the lower part of your rectum. Sometimes they can poke through (prolapse) and appear outside your anus. This can be extremely painful. External haemorrhoids are the most common. They originate and grow just outside the anus. They can cause swelling, a lump, pain, severe itching and discomfort when sitting down. External haemorrhoids grow outside of your anus. What is haemorrhoid surgery? There are several different medical procedures for treating haemorrhoids, including ones your doctor can do in the office, through to surgery (haemorrhoidectomy) performed in a day clinic or hospital. They’re all designed to reduce or remove haemorrhoids. Surgery usually involves cutting off the blood supply to the haemorrhoid or removing them completely. The type of procedure depends on the severity of the haemorrhoids, your surgeon’s experience and skill and your personal choice. Learn more about staging of internal haemorrhoids. Where is it done? Haemorrhoid surgery can be done as same-day surgery although sometimes you may need to stay in hospital overnight. How long does it take? It normally takes around 30 minutes depending on the complexity. Who is involved?
