The use of local anesthesia and sedation in transanal hemorrhoidal dearterialization with Doppler

This study aims to evaluate the safety of the use of local anesthesia with sedation in THD. For this purpose, two cases are reported describing the technical and safety analysis and results. Both patients were women with grade II and III hemorrhoidal disease. These patients underwent pre-anesthetic sedation with intravenous diazepam, then were positioned in lithotomy and sedated with midazolam and pethidine. The intersphincteric blockage was followed by THD with mucopexy. One patient made a small submucosal hematoma without expansion. The patients were stable and comfortable throughout the procedure. Both were discharged the next day, with regular analgesia. In the seventh postoperative day, both had mild annoyance at constant tenesmus, which was reduced gradually. The cases illustrate that THD is feasible when performed with local anesthesia and sedation, as it is safe and effective. This new technology can be incorporated into services that have a local anesthesia protocol as their standard.ResumoO tratamento da doença hemorroidária nunca foi tão inovado como nas últimas décadas. A desarterialização hemorroidária transanal é uma dessas inovações. Foi originalmente descrita sob anestesia geral ou bloqueio espinal e não há relatos de utilização de anestesia local. Assim, este estudo visa avaliar a segurança do uso da anestesia local com sedação na desarterialização hemorroidária transanal. Para tal, dois casos são relatados com descrição da técnica e ...
