There have, however, been reports on early and late complications. Therefore, the present study was designed to assess the impact of stapled hemorrhoidopexy on anorectal function and continence. Methods: Sixty-one patients with rectal prolapse and/or symptomatic circumferential hemorrhoidal disease, as validated by the Wexner incontinence score, were included. Anal manometric indices were measured. The Wexner scores and anal manometric measures were compared pre- and postoperatively using the Mann–Whitney U test.
