Transanal Hemorrhoidal Dearterialisation (THD) is provided in Vitkovice Hospital since 2007. There is a semiinvasive surgical procedure,
when the artery hemorrhoidales’ signal is detected by Doppler ultrasound probe. The artery is ligated after its detection. Indication for
THD is hemoroidal disease from the 1st to the 3rd degree and beginning of the 4th degree. THD is provided in one day surgery in Vitkovice
Hospital. Authors have an experience with treatment of 74 patients. There is lower postoperative pain and shorter healing in comparison
of Longo procedure and classical hemoroidectomy. The big advantage is absence of risk in wound healing and risk of postoperative
complications. Disadvantage is the price for patient.
