Results: Open hemorrhoidectomy took significantly more time of surgery, significantly more time for defecation, their VAS pain score was significantly more, Urinary retention, bleeding was significantly more in open group compared to stapler group. In open group significantly more patients required multiple doses of postoperative analgesia compared to stapler group. 90% of the patients in open group required postoperative hospital stay for > 2 days compared to only 62% in stapler group. 96% of patients from open group took > 7 days to return to their work compared to only 50% of the patients from stapler group.
