  • Descrição: Objective  Modern haemorrhoidectomy techniques aim to interrupt arterial blood supply to the hypertrophied piles. The aim of this study was to investigate morphological and physiological alterations in the terminal branches of the superior rectal artery (SRA) in patients with haemorrhoidal disease treated by stapled haemorrhoidopexy (SH) using noninvasive transperineal ultrasound. Method  Thirty‐seven consecutive patients (14 women, 23 men; median age 52, range 30–77 years) who underwent SH for treatment of grade III haemorrhoids were scanned by transperineal colour Doppler ultrasound at baseline, 4 weeks and 3 months postoperatively. Seventeen healthy volunteers served as the control group (nine women, eight men; median age 24, range 18–72 years). Calibre and arterial flow velocity (AFV) of the terminal branches of the SRA were measured. Results  Baseline measurements significantly differed between patients and the control group (median calibre 2, range 0.9–3.6 mm, vs 1, range 0.6–1.2 mm, and median AFV 24, range 10–65 cm/s, vs 12, range 5–21 cm/s, P < 0.0001). Postoperative follow‐up showed no significant alterations in the physiological parameters. Patients with a higher recurrence rate of haemorrhoidal disease had higher baseline AFV values. Conclusion  Stapled haemorrhoidopexy does not reduce arterial inflow in the feeding vessels of the anorectal vascular plexus. Preoperative ultrasound may serve as a tool for assessing vascularization status in haemorrhoidal disease and is useful in deciding whether patients should undergo SH or, for individuals with high AFV, whether conventional haemorrhoidectomy might be the better choice.
