The aim of the study was to compare short- and medium-term outcomes of transanal haemorrhoidal dearterialisation (THD) versus stapled haemorrhoidopexy (SH) for the treatment of second- and third-degree haemorrhoids.Patients with second- or third-degree haemorrhoids who failed conservative treatment were randomly allocated to THD or SH.
