About

The primary aim of the current study is to evaluate and compare 6-month complication rates after thrombectomy and local excision treatments.

The investigators aim to compare thrombectomy and local excision treatments in many different aspects:

The investigators will follow these patients for 6 months by scheduling follow-up visits (or by phone if the patient cannot attend) 4 times during this period (1st week, 1st month, 3rd month, 6th month).
The investigators will examine bleeding, pain, anal stricture/stenosis, infection, time until return to normal daily activity, relapse and incontinence after treatment
To assess quality of life outcomes, the investigators use the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). These measures rely upon patient self-reporting and are utilized for routine monitoring and assessment of care outcomes in patients.
The investigators will use the Wexner incontinence score for assessment of incontinence.

In each hospital, medical students, residents and surgeons can be involved in the study. In the following 6-month period, all collaborators will be collecting the data of the patients who have been operated for external hemorrhoids via the thrombectomy or local excision procedures.
