Abstract

Based on a retrospective review of a personal experience with 500 modified Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomies, technical suggestions for avoiding early and late complications are presented. The problems of early and delayed bleeding, anal verge and mucosal stenosis, pain and prolonged healing due to persistent anal ulcer are discussed
