Ligasure™ Precise vs. Conventional Diathermy for Milligan-Morgan Hemorrhoidectomy : A Prospective, Randomized, Multicenter Trial

Purpose Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy using radiofrequency dissection (Ligasure™) has been proposed instead of conventional diathermy in view of its potential benefits in terms of postoperative anal pain and better hemostatic control, but the medical literature is still controversial. This multicenter, randomized, controlled trial was designed to compare the outcomes between Ligasure™ and conventional diathermy hemorrhoidectomy in the Milligan-Morgan procedures in a sufficient number of patients.
