Hemorrhoidectomy with self-retaining retraction.

Abstract

Hemorrhoidectomy is one of the most effective treatments for significantly symptomatic hemorrhoids. By placing the patient in the Sims' position and appropriately using the Hill-Ferguson retractor and towel clip, the surgeon can get good exposure and perform a Ferguson closed hemorrhoidectomy without any assistance.
