Transanal hemorrhoidal dearterialization THD surgery is a minimally invasive surgical ultrasound-guided procedure used to treat hemorrhoids. An ultrasound-guided device is used to identify the arteries supplying blood to the hemorrhoids, followed by the ligation of these arteries to reduce blood flow and shrink the hemorrhoids.
Suitable candidates for THD are those with more advanced grade hemorrhoids such as grade II or grade III hemorrhoids, Patients with Grade 4 hemorrhoids however, or that have certain medical conditions may not be suitable.
During the procedure, the surgeon inserts a specialized anoscope into the anus to visualize the hemorrhoids and identify the arteries supplying blood to them. The surgeon then uses the THD device to place a suture around each artery, effectively ligating it and reducing blood flow to the hemorrhoids. It takes approximately 30 minutes to an hour and is done as an outpatient procedure.
The success rate of THD surgery is considered high. After the THD procedure, you can expect to experience some mild discomfort, as well as some bleeding and discharge from the anus. However, these symptoms typically resolve within a few days to a week, and most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days of the procedure. It is important to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise or activity for a few weeks following the procedure to allow for proper healing.
