Efficacy and Safety of Transanal Hemorrhoidal Deharterialization for Severe Hemorrhoidal Disease: A Single-Institution Case Series

Transanal hemorroidal deharterialization (THD) represents a safe and effective proctosurgical procedure that provides a targeted ligation of hemorrhoidal arteries through a Doppler probe combined with a plication of the prolapsing rectal mucosa, if necessary. This technique should be recommended for 2nd degree, 3rd degree, and 4th degree hemorrhoids providing a complete resolution of symptoms in almost all patients, avoiding life-threatening complications.
