This type of hemorrhoids infection is referred to as grade 3 hemorrhoid or grade 4 hemorrhoid. A surgical operation is done that removes the hemorrhoid. Hemorrhoidectomy is a name, which implies surgically cutting the hemorrhoid out of body part. Other names used to refer to this process include incision Hemorrhoidectomy and excisional Hemorrhoidectomy. Hemorrhoidectomy is done using a laser or scalpel with the help of anesthesia to ease the pain during operation.

Before undergoing hemorrhoid treatment in surgery, it would be better you discuss first with a doctor the method you have been using currently for treatment including pain suppressants, herbs etc. Discuss also the complications and risks of the operation. The common side effects associated with non-surgical treatment of hemorrhoids include paralysis due to banding the affected area, narrowing of the anal canal, bleeding infection, urinary retention, anal fissure, and non-healing wounds
Before surgery operation can begin, a patient is usually given a laxative or a simple procedure is done where water is injected into the rectum and flushed out to clean the area. To make Hemorrhoidectomy less distressing, a sedative is used with a local anesthetic. Hemorrhoidectomy is then performed using a scalpel or laser beam to cut out the hemorrhoid and associated tissue. The area is then stitched back together using absorbable stitches or left open as an open wound as a precaution to avoid infection
