Mucopexy-Recto Anal Lifting (Mu-RAL): a standardized minimally invasive method of managing symptomatic hemorrhoids, with an innovative suturing technique and the HemorPex System ®.

DISCUSSION: In our experience the standardization of MuRAL operation with HPS, turned out to be a safe and effective minimally invasive approach in managing symptomatic III and IV degree hemorrhoids , avoiding the risk of severe complications, with the possibility to perform a redo-MuRAL in the event of recurrence. In our series up to 88% of the patients reported a good, or excellent one-year satisfaction score. Further comparative randomized studies with longer follow-up period are needed.
