Yes, stapler surgery is generally more effective for Grade 4 (severely prolapsed) piles. While laser surgery works excellently for Grade 2 and Grade 3 hemorrhoids, stapler surgery is specifically designed for advanced cases where the hemorrhoids are permanently prolapsed and cannot be pushed back. The stapler technique repositions the prolapsed tissue and cuts off blood supply, providing a more permanent solution for severe cases. During your consultation, Dr. Samir Contractor will examine your condition and recommend the most suitable treatment—whether stapler, laser, or Ligasure—based on the grade and severity of your piles.

No, you should not drive yourself home after stapler surgery. Since the procedure is performed under spinal or general anesthesia, the effects can take several hours to wear off completely, affecting your reflexes and alertness. You must arrange for a family member or friend to drive you home after discharge. We typically discharge patients 24 hours after surgery, once we ensure you're comfortable, have had a bowel movement, and can walk without difficulty. You can resume driving 3-5 days after surgery, once you've stopped taking pain medications and feel completely comfortable sitting.

You can safely resume sexual activity 2-3 weeks after stapler surgery, once the surgical site has healed adequately and you feel no discomfort. Most patients experience complete healing by the third week. However, this timeline can vary slightly based on individual healing rates and the extent of the procedure. Listen to your body—if you experience any pain or discomfort, wait a few more days before trying again. During your follow-up appointment (typically scheduled 7-10 days post-surgery), Dr. Contractor will assess your healing progress and provide personalized guidance on resuming all normal activities, including sexual activity.

No, the staples do not need to be removed. The staples used in stapler hemorrhoidectomy are made of titanium—a biocompatible material that is completely safe to remain in your body permanently. These medical-grade staples are absorbed into the tissue as healing occurs, becoming part of the healed structure. They are similar to staples used in other surgeries like hernia repair or bariatric surgery. You won't feel them, and they won't cause any problems. The staples simply hold the repositioned tissue in place while natural healing takes over, typically within 2-3 weeks.

While we achieve a 98% success rate with extremely low recurrence, we cannot provide an absolute guarantee as hemorrhoids can potentially recur if contributing lifestyle factors are not addressed. However, when stapler surgery is performed by an experienced surgeon and patients follow post-operative recommendations, recurrence rates are very low (less than 2-3%). To prevent recurrence, you must: maintain a high-fiber diet with adequate water intake, avoid prolonged sitting or straining during bowel movements, exercise regularly, and maintain a healthy weight. We provide comprehensive dietary and lifestyle guidance during your recovery, and following these recommendations significantly reduces the chance of piles returning.
