This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a newer surgical technique called skin-sparing hemorrhoidectomy and pexy (SHAPE) works better than the traditional Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy for treating severe hemorrhoids. Both are surgical procedures, but they use slightly different approaches to remove or fix the hemorrhoid tissue. The study wants to see which one causes less pain and faster healing.
Severe hemorrhoids can cause significant pain, bleeding, and discomfort, and surgery is often needed when other treatments don't work. This trial exists to find out whether the newer surgical technique might be gentler and have better outcomes than the standard approach that has been used for many years.

If you join this trial, you will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two surgical approaches. You'll have detailed visits before surgery to review your medical history and symptoms. After surgery, you'll go home the next day in most cases, and then return for check-ups twice weekly in the first week, weekly for a month, and monthly after that so doctors can monitor your pain and healing. The entire follow-up period involves assessment visits at the hospital to track your recovery.
