Zusammenfassung:Background/Aim: The aim of this study is to document experience in performing ambulatory hemorrhoidectomy under local anesthesia and to examine its feasibility. Method: 1,530 patients with symptomatic grade III–IV internal hemorrhoids underwent surgical hemorrhoidectomy (Milligan-Morgan) between 1976 and 1991.
