Abstract

Whitehead's procedure is a useful radical operation for hemorroids. Recently, it is, however, not so common in Japan because of postoperative untoward complications such as anal stricture and mucosal prolaps.<br>We made a divice to this Whitehead's procedure so as to which was usually attempted to low type anal atresia. Especially, we would emphasise the importance of decreasing anastmosal tension with creating sliding skin graft around the anus, and fixation of the rectum to the anal sphincter muscular band.<br>Our modified procedure was attempted 9 cases of several kinds of hemorrhoids, and no anal stricture and mucosal prolaps were encountered for over one year after surgery. In addition, postoperative anal pain was extremely weak in all patients.
