Objective: To explore the efficacy of two surgical procedures by comparing the mean operative time, average blood loss and postoperative pain score during conventional and LigaSure. Study Design: Quasi-experimental study. Setting: Department of Surgery, Aziz Fatimah Hospital, to compare the efficacy of two surgical procedures regarding perioperative and postoperative variables. Period: One Year (1st July 2020 -30th June 2021). Material & Methods: Sixty patients with grade three and four haemorrhoids were randomized into two groups with 30 patients each. A questionnaire comprising all the variables was filled out and analyzed in SPSS 21. Results: Thirty patients were randomized into two groups, with group A comprising 21 (70%) females and, 9 (30%) males and 24 (80%) females, 6(20%) males in group B undergoing conventional hemorrhoidectomy. The study was single-blind, as the patients were unaware of the procedure they underwent. The mean age in group A was 39 years, and in group, B was 43 years. The mean operative time calculated was 38.4±2.77 and 51.7±2.60 in LigaSure and Milligan Morgan Hemorrhoidectomy, respectively, with a P-value calculated <0.00001. The average blood loss in LigaSure was 31.3 ± 5.76 and 49 ± 7.11 in Milligan morgan hemorrhoidectomy. Moreover, the pain assessment score on day one and all other variables were statistically significant, with a P-value of <0.00001. Conclusion: Ligasure hemorrhoidectomy is a safer surgical procedure associated with less operative time, blood loss and postoperative pain with shorter hospital stay and rapid wound healing.
