Stapled haemorrhoidectomy (stapled haemorrhoidopexy) uses a circular stapling device to lift larger internal piles back into place and cut down their blood supply.

The NIHR-funded eTHoS trial found stapled surgery less painful for up to three weeks, with similar pain by six weeks.

Piles returned more frequently after stapling, 32% against 14% at 12 months and 42% against 25% at 24 months, and traditional excision proved better value.

Many piles respond first to more fibre and fluid, banding or other clinic treatments.

Ask the surgeon why stapling is recommended over traditional excision for your piles, given the trial's recurrence results.

Fitness to fly: there is no aviation figure specific to this procedure, so fly after the surgeon has reviewed you and ask how to reduce clot risk on a long journey.

In Chennai, the price of stapled haemorrhoidectomy is generally built from these parts:

• Tests beforehand: bloods, scans and a check by the anaesthetist.
• Operating theatre and anaesthetic: billed largely on time spent in theatre.
• Specialist fees: which are set by each hospital.
• Surgical approach: open, keyhole or robotic, where more than one is possible.
• Grade of piles: and earlier treatment.
• Stapling device: a single-use instrument.
• Anaesthesia and stay: frequently a day case or overnight.
• Follow-up: clinic review.

Ask the Chennai hospital whether the price estimate covers the anaesthetist, the stapling device and the post-operative clinic appointments.

Abdominal and digestive surgery in Chennai is done by surgical teams in multi-speciality hospitals that have critical care and endoscopy on site.

Hospitals in Chennai can hold NABH accreditation, India's national quality standard set by a board of the Quality Council of India and itself accredited by ISQua, and the NABH website shows whether an accreditation is still valid.

Joint Commission International (JCI) accredits a number of Indian hospitals, and its public directory lets you check whether a Chennai hospital on your shortlist is currently included.

Chennai was called Madras until the Tamil Nadu government changed the name in 1996, so older documents and some hospital paperwork may still use the earlier name.
