Objectives: Hemorrhoids is often disease in proctology, Ferguson (1959) presented a technique of hemorroidectomy with postoperative care easier. The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy and safety of Ferguson's technique. Material and method: Observational study based on 140 patients with grade III, IV and thrombosed hemorrhoids treated by Ferguson's technique from January 2010 to June 2011 at Viet Duc hospital. Results: The authors encounter 140 patients with grade III, IV and thrombosed hemorrhoids treated by Ferguson's technique from January 2010 to June 2011 at Viet Duc hospital. Mean operation time: 38.27 minutes
85 percent patients had little or moderative pain in postoperative period
96.7 percent wounds healed in the first period
no infection abscess encounted
72.86 percent had hospiatlization length from 2 to 3 days. No patient died or had to re-operate for bleeding. 77.1 percent returned to work after 2 weeks. 2.9 percent had a narow anal canal by scar
0.7 percent recur hemorrhoid. 96.4 percent had good result, 2.9 percent had moderate and 0.7 percent had bad result. Conclusions: Ferguson's technique treats III, IV hemorrhoids grade efficaciously. This makes postoperative care more simple and can treat lesions combined in ano-rectum.
