The technique is performed using a circular purse-string suture positioned above the enlarged internal hemorrhoids. A stapler is placed transanally to perform a removal of the prolapsing tissue. Positive short-term results using the circular stapler are well-documented. Patients experience significantly less postoperative pain and a quicker return to work than after traditional surgery.
