Dr. Azimuddin performs revolutionary new surgical treatment for Hemorrhoids at Methodist Willowbrook Hospital

Posted on: 02/13/2010

Dr Khawaja Azimuddin recently performed the first ever operation using the new technique of Transanal Hemorhoidal Dearterialization at the Methodist Willowbrook Hospital. Very few medical centers in America provide this innovative surgical approach to Hemorrhoids.

THD uses a doppler to locate the terminating branches of the hemorrhoidal arteries. Once the artery is located the surgeon uses an absorbable suture to ligate or “tie-off” the arterial blood flow. The venous “out flow” remains to “shrink” the cushion. This is done without excision of tissue. If necessary the surgeon will perform a hemorrhoidopexy to repair the prolapse. Again, this is done with suture and no excision of tissue. This repair restores and “lifts” the tissue back to its anatomical position.

Say Goodbye to Hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids are not a frequently discussed topic. Most people simply tolerate the problem and are often frightened by the thought of traditional surgery. It is estimated that 50% of Americans will, at some point in their lives, suffer from hemorrhoids.

Now you can find relief and get back to enjoying life. The THD procedure offers a minimally invasive surgical approach to treating the source of the hemorrhoids. And, because there is no surgical removal of tissue, there is minimal post-operative pain. THD (Transanal Hemorrhoidal Dearterialization) is offered as an outpatient procedure which gets you back to normal activities quickly. The entire procedure is performed above the dentate line so that there is minimal discomfort. The procedure takes about 20 minutes and is offered as an out-patient surgery

Clinical results have shown that patients who have THD may encounter less pain, less risk of complications and faster return to activities (24-48 hrs). It’s time to forget the pain and get back to life!
