Today is 11/24/08. I had 6 internal hemorrhoids destroyed on 11/21/08 with the THD method. I'm very happy with the results! I checked in at 10:30 am, surgery was approx. 45 minutes, and I left at 3:45pm on the same day. When I left the surgical clinic, I was able to walk out, there was no pain, just minimal discomfort. (I felt as though I needed to have a BM). Through the weekend, it was a bit difficult to have a BM and had a "full" feeling. (It was almost like menstral cramps). The only pain meds I took was 2 Tylenol Extra Strength 500 mg each when needed. The codene that was prescribed made me ill. An item a patient may want to invest in is a sitz bath, to sit in, as it helped through the discomfort. I also used a heating pad for my lower back, and alternated use of it on my stomach.

My surgeon is Timothy B. Cole, MD of Lincoln, NE. Great Job Dr. Cole! THD Patient.

I had this procedure done 8 day ago on 09/18/09 and everything is going great. Mild soreness and pain were pretty much gone within 3-4 days. THD Patient.

Overall our patients are much happier with the THD than with a regular hemorrhoidectomy. It’s been wonderful to be able to offer this type of surgery as an option. It’s been an efficient, yet affective way to deal with hemorrhoids for both the patients and the staff. THD Surgeon, Nurse.

I think THD is a great alternative, especially for very active patients that are concerned about getting back to work. THD offers quick recovery with very little pain. It gets patients back to normal activities quickly. Dr. Stephen Cohen, Atlanta, Georgia

After dealing with bleeding for over 20 years and then prolapse that wouldn't allow me to stand for more than 10 minutes at a time, I had the THD procedure.

I am now free! I can do anything. It is hard to remember that I don't need to think about all the things I used to have to be careful about attempting.

The surgery was quick and the recovery period was easy in comparison to other hemorrhoidectomy procedures.

I was being pressured into having stapling done, but I didn't feel that it addressed the hemorrhoids directly enough and its record of complications concerned me.

Finding this website was the key to relief for me. Since THD deals directly with the hemorrhoids by ligating their blood supply, it is simple and has no record of serious complications.

I really can't say enough about how pleased I am and how free I feel. It has only been four weeks since I had the procedure and I could not be happier!

Thank you Dr. Klause in San Clemente! THD Patient.

I think THD is a wonderful option for both patients and physicians. From a physician stand point, it allows us to treat the hemorrhoids under direct visualization, very easily with a low complication rate. From the patient stand point, it allows patients to have their hemorrhoids taken care of without excision of tissue, a quick procedure, out patient and quick return to normal activities. Dr. Michael Page, Des Moines, Iowa.

I had THD on Jan 18, 2010. Today is the 23rd, and I feel great. I did find recovery to be a bit difficult, but only because my sitation was SEVERE and I waited way too long to have surgery. Dr. Bajwa in Bellaire, Tx performed my procedure and he did a great job. I still have quite a bit of swelling that hasn''t gone down, and bruising as well, but this procedure is SO WORTH it. Dr. Bajwa, you changed my life. Thank you so much. I dealt with external hemorroids for so long and I feel so good now. THD is definitely the way to go. As humiliating as it was for me to take the plunge and actually go to the doctor for this, I am SO GLAD I did.
