Background: Hemorrhoidectomy is the treatment of choice for symptomatic hemorrhoids, reserved for patients with grade III or IV hemorrhoids or no response to conservative treatment. There are several surgical techniques, whose degree of resolution of symptoms and patient satisfaction has varied results. Objectives: To evaluate in the short term the symptomatology and degree of satisfaction of patients undergoing conventional hemorrhoidectomy in Complejo Asistencial Dr. Sótero del Río. Material and Methods: A retrospective telephone survey was applied to patients undergoing conventional hemorrhoidectomy from June 2015 to January 2016. The survey includes questions about symptoms in the pre-operative, at the month and at 6 or more months post-operated. Bleeding, pruritus, pain, prolapsed sensation and incontinence were evaluated. The statistical analysis considered the results according to the 5 symptoms evaluated in the survey and then dichotomized according to clinical relevance. A significant p value < 0.01 was considered. Results: 43 patients answered the survey, with a median age of 55 years (17-80). The median evaluation was 8 months (6-12). Considering the symptoms: bleeding, pruritus, pain and prolapse, 35 patients (79%) had 3 or more preoperative symptoms considered significant. Persistent follow-up ranges from 9 to 28%. In the statistical analysis with dichotomized symptoms, there is a statistically significant decrease at one month and at 6 or more months post-surgery. Conclusion: Conventional hemorrhoidectomy is well evaluated by patients in relation to a significant resolution of hemorrhoidal disease symptoms

Abstract
Background: Hemorrhoidectomy is the treatment of choice for symptomatic hemorrhoids, reserved for patients with grade III or IV hemorrhoids or no response to conservative treatment. There are several surgical techniques, whose degree of resolution of symptoms and patient satisfaction has varied results. Objectives: To evaluate in the short term the symptomatology and degree of satisfaction of patients undergoing conventional hemorrhoidectomy in Complejo Asistencial Dr. Sótero del Río. Material and Methods: A retrospective telephone survey was applied to patients undergoing conventional hemorrhoidectomy from June 2015 to January 2016. The survey includes questions about symptoms in the pre-operative, at the month and at 6 or more months post-operated. Bleeding, pruritus, pain, prolapsed sensation and incontinence were evaluated. The statistical analysis considered the results according to the 5 symptoms evaluated in the survey and then dichotomized according to clinical relevance. A significant p value < 0.01 was considered. Results: 43 patients answered the survey, with a median age of 55 years (17-80). The median evaluation was 8 months (6-12). Considering the symptoms: bleeding, pruritus, pain and prolapse, 35 patients (79%) had 3 or more preoperative symptoms considered significant. Persistent follow-up ranges from 9 to 28%. In the statistical analysis with dichotomized symptoms, there is a statistically significant decrease at one month and at 6 or more months post-surgery. Conclusion: Conventional hemorrhoidectomy is well evaluated by patients in relation to a significant resolution of hemorrhoidal disease symptoms. Introducción: La hemorroidectomía es el tratamiento de elección para las hemorroides sintomáticas, reservado para pacientes con hemorroides grado III o IV o sin respuesta a tratamiento conservador. Existen diversas técnicas quirúrgicas, cuyo grado de resolución de síntomas y satisfacción por parte del paciente posee resultados variados. Objetivos: Evaluar al corto plazo la sintomatología y grado de satisfacción de los pacientes operados de hemorroidectomía convencional en el Complejo Asistencial Dr. Sótero del Río. Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó una encuesta telefónica retrospectiva a pacientes operados de hemorroidectomía convencional durante junio de 2015 a enero de 2016. Se preguntó por síntomas en el preoperatorio, al mes y a los 6 o más meses posoperados. Se evaluó sangrado, prurito, dolor, sensación de prolapso e incontinencia. El análisis estadístico consideró los resultados según los 5 síntomas evaluados y luego dicotomizados según relevancia clínica. Se consideró un valor p significativo < 0,01. Resultados: Cuarenta y tres pacientes respondieron la encuesta, con una mediana de edad de 55 años (17-80). La mediana de evaluación fue de 8 meses (6-12). Considerando los síntomas: sangrado, prurito, dolor y prolapso, 35 pacientes (79%) presentaban 3 o más síntomas preoperatorios considerados significativos. La persistencia al seguimiento varía entre un 9 a un 28%. En el análisis estadístico con síntomas dicotomizados, existe una disminución estadísticamente significativa al mes y a los 6 o más meses posoperados. Discusión: La hemorroidectomía convencional es bien evaluada por los pacientes en relación a una resolución significativa de síntomas de la enfermedad hemorroidal.
