RESUMO

Between june 1989 and june 1994, one-hundred patients were operated by Milligan-Morgan technique for hemorrhoidal disease. They had two or three hemorrhoids, classified as second and third degree. They were divided in two groups: fifty outpatients, who were operated under local anesthesia and fifity patients under epidural anesthesia with hospitalization. Comparing different variables in both groups, it was concluded that there was no significant difference regarding the time until the first defecation, the time for healing and the duration of the operation. A significant difference was observed regarding the less necessity of intramuscular analgesic medication additional to the prescribed post-operative oral analgesic and in the less time span for retuming to habitual activities in patients under local anesthesia. Urinary retention was perceived in 4% of the pacients, alI from the group that received epidural anesthesia, attributed to the anesthetic method. Hemorraghe was observed and treated with a new surgicalligature of the pedicle in 4% of the cases, alI patients from the group receiving epidural anesthesia, and that was not attributed to anesthetic method. Cicatricial stenosis with fissure was observed in 2% of the group with local anesthesia and 4% of the group with epidural anesthesia. Time of hospitalization and over-nights that were not programmed occured in 8% of patients in the epidural anesthesia group. The costs of surgical treatment and hospitalization of those with epidural anesthesia were 23.92% higher than those outpatients with local anesthesia. It was concluded that patients operated under local anesthesia as outpatients presented better results in the overall analysis of treatment of hemorrhoidal disease than those operated under epidural anesthesia as inpatients
