| Abstract: | Background Various sequelae which might lead to reintervention have been described after stapled rectal mucosectomy for hemorrhoids. One potential treatment modality for persistent complaints after stapled hemorrhoidopexy (SHP) or stapling for rectocele is the so-called agraffectomy (removal of the retained staples). This treatment option means a further procedure that can range from removal of the staples through the anoscope to removal of the entire staple line with the associated scar tissue. |
