Core Tip	Patients with Grades Ⅰ-Ⅱ hemorrhoids can be treated with medical treatment or office procedures. For Grades Ⅲ-Ⅳ, surgical treatment should be offered and individually tailored to each patient. Conventional hemorrhoidectomy is the gold-standard, albeit with severe post-operative pain. LigaSure and harmonic scalpel hemorrhoidectomy offer shorter operative time, less post-operative pain and less time off work. Stapled hemorrhoidopexy provides similar results. However, though rare, devastating complications may occur, and so, should be performed only by experienced surgeons. Hemorrhoidal artery ligation is a potential non-excisional technique for the treatment of Grades Ⅱ-Ⅲ hemorrhoids with minimal postoperative pain and quick recovery.
