    Abstract:
    Milligan and Morgan's procedure is commonly used for the surgical management of haemorrhoids. The aim of our study was to evaluate short term postoperative morbidity. Between 1975 and 1990, 1,134 patients were operated on. Two patients died after operation. The most frequent complications were pain (71%) and urinary retention (16.4%). Hemorrhages (7.6%) resulting in a re-operation occurred in 1% of cases. Other complications were rare and always cured by a specific treatment (stenosis: 2.9%, anal fissure: 0.5%, abscess: 0.6%, fistula in ano: 1.2%). Two patients had anal incontinence partially improved by biofeedback. Hemorrhoidal was 2%. Short term postoperative morbidity is generally low after Milligan and Morgan hemorrhoidectomy, with careful supervision in a surgical department and repeated postoperative care.
