Predisposing and aetiologic factors for haemorrhoidal recurrence after procedure for prolapse and haemorrhoids (PPH)

Conclusions
To minimize post PPH recurrence, strict inclusion criteria and well-performed primary surgery, calibrated on the sufficient amount of prolapse resected, and occasionally combined with excision of residual haemorrhoids, should be demanded. If the condition is symptomatic, recurrent or persisting prolapse is treated with repeat PPH when it is mobile and uniform, and with conventional haemorrhoidectomy when it is irreducible.
