Stapler Surgery for Piles (MIPH)

Stapler surgery, also called MIPH or stapled hemorrhoidopexy, is used mainly for selected internal piles with significant prolapse. A circular stapling device lifts the prolapsed tissue back into position and reduces its blood supply at a level where pain sensitivity is lower.

Before recommending MIPH, the surgeon assesses the grade of piles, external disease, bleeding pattern and previous procedures. The benefits, limitations and possible complications are discussed in plain language. Some patients are better served by laser, suture mucopaxy or another technique, so selection is important.

The operation is commonly performed with short hospital or daycare observation. Patients receive guidance about medicines, bowel movements, activity and diet. Prompt review is advised for heavy bleeding, fever, increasing pain or difficulty passing urine, while scheduled follow-up confirms recovery.
