Effectiveness of Mayinglong Musk Hemorrhoid Ointment on Wound Healing and Complications after Internal Hemorrhoid Ligation and External Hemorrhoidectomy.

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the effect of Mayinglong Musk Hemorrhoids Ointment on wound healing and complications after internal hemorrhoid ligation and external hemorrhoidectomy.

METHODS

This is a retrospective study. A total of 100 patients with mixed hemorrhoids who were treated in our hospital from August 2019 to October 2020 were recruited and assigned to an operation group ( = 50, internal hemorrhoid ligation, and external hemorrhoidectomy) or a combined group ( = 50, use of Mayinglong Musk Hemorrhoid Ointment after internal hemorrhoid ligation and external hemorrhoidectomy). The wound-healing effect, wound-healing time, visual analog scale (VAS), anal function, and complications were compared between the two groups.

RESULTS

The combined group exhibited a significantly higher total effective rate of wound healing when compared with the operation group ( < 0.05). The patients in the combined group experienced remarkably faster wound healing than the operation group ( < 0.05). The visual analog scale (VAS) score of the combined group was significantly lower than that of the operation group ( < 0.05). The combined group obtained superior anal function than the operation group ( < 0.001).

CONCLUSION

Mayinglong Musk Hemorrhoid Ointment combined with internal hemorrhoid ligation and external hemorrhoidectomy in the treatment of mixed hemorrhoids yields remarkable outcomes. It improves the wound healing outcomes, accelerates wound healing, relieves postoperative pain, enhances anal function, and reduces the occurrence of postoperative complications in the patient.
