This is different from a traditional hemorrhoidectomy, which focused on excising the hemorrhoidal bundle. In this procedure, there is no tissue excision.

Conventional hemorrhoidectomy provides permanent symptomatic relief for most patients, and effectively treats any external component of the hemorrhoids.
