Introduction
Sphincter-preserving hemorrhoidectomy (SPH) is a surgical procedure used to treat hemorrhoids, which are swollen and inflamed veins in the rectum and anus. Traditional SPH techniques often involve cutting away a portion of the sphincter muscle, which can lead to complications such as incontinence. Mommy sph joi (MSJ) is a new, innovative technique that preserves the sphincter muscle while achieving similar results to traditional SPH.
Benefits of MSJ
- Sphincter preservation: MSJ preserves the sphincter muscle, reducing the risk of incontinence.
- Reduced pain: MSJ typically causes less pain during and after surgery.
- Quicker recovery: MSJ patients may recover more quickly than those who undergo traditional SPH.
- Improved outcomes: MSJ has been shown to have comparable or even better outcomes than traditional SPH.
How MSJ Works
MSJ uses a special device called the LigaSure Precise™ Vessel Sealing System. This device seals off blood vessels without cutting away tissue, allowing the hemorrhoids to be removed without damaging the sphincter muscle.
Procedure
The MSJ procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon inserts the LigaSure device into the anus and uses it to seal off the blood vessels supplying the hemorrhoids. The hemorrhoids are then removed, and the incision is closed with sutures.
Recovery
Most patients can go home the same day as their MSJ surgery. Recovery time varies, but most patients can resume normal activities within a few days. Some discomfort and bleeding may be experienced for a short time after surgery.
Tips and Tricks
- Follow your doctor's instructions carefully: Take all prescribed medications and follow all instructions on wound care.
- Keep the wound clean and dry: Change your dressings regularly and gently clean the wound with soap and water.
- Avoid straining during bowel movements: Use a stool softener or laxative if necessary.
- Eat a healthy diet: Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to promote healing.
- Get plenty of rest: Allow yourself time to rest and recover after surgery.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Ignoring pain or discomfort: If you experience significant pain or discomfort, contact your doctor.
- Overexerting yourself: Avoid strenuous activities until your doctor has cleared you.
- Not taking your medications: Take all prescribed medications as directed.
- Not following wound care instructions: Keeping the wound clean and dry is essential for proper healing.
- Straining during bowel movements: This can put pressure on the incision and delay healing.
FAQs
1. What are the risks of MSJ?
MSJ is generally considered a safe procedure, but there are some risks associated with any surgery, such as infection, bleeding, and pain.
2. How long will it take me to recover from MSJ?
Most patients recover from MSJ within a few days. However, recovery time varies depending on the individual.
3. Will I need to have a bowel movement after MSJ?
Yes, you will need to have a bowel movement after MSJ. It is important to soften the stool with a stool softener or laxative to avoid straining.
4. Can I eat my normal diet after MSJ?
Yes, you can eat your normal diet after MSJ. However, it is important to eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to promote healing.
5. Can I take pain medication after MSJ?
Yes, you can take pain medication after MSJ. Your doctor will prescribe pain medication to help relieve pain and discomfort.
6. When can I resume my normal activities?
You should avoid strenuous activities until your doctor has cleared you. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days.
7. What are the long-term results of MSJ?
The long-term results of MSJ are generally good. Most patients experience significant improvement in their symptoms and have no long-term complications.
8. How can I find a doctor who performs MSJ?
Ask your primary care doctor for a referral to a colon and rectal surgeon who performs MSJ. You can also search for doctors in your area who offer MSJ on the website of the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons (ASCRS).
Conclusion
Mommy sph joi is a new, innovative technique for treating hemorrhoids that preserves the sphincter muscle. MSJ is a safe and effective procedure that can provide significant improvement in symptoms. If you are considering hemorrhoid surgery, talk to your doctor about MSJ to see if it is right for you.
