Some 207 patients were randomized to either anopexy or Milligan\u2013Morgan haemorrhoidectomy, of whom 90 in each group were operated on. Patients reported symptoms before surgery and after 1 year. Daily postoperative pain scores were recorded in a patient diary. Surgeons evaluated the anal anatomy before surgery and after 1 year.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Correction of prolapse in the anopexy and haemorrhoidectomy groups was similar at 1 year (88 and 90 per cent respectively; P = 0\u00b780). Freedom from symptoms was obtained in 44 and 69 per cent respectively (P = 0\u00b7002). Stapled anopexy was associated with less postoperative pain, which resolved more quickly (P = 0\u00b7004). Significant improvements were noted in anal continence and well-being 1 year after both operations (P &amp;lt; 0\u00b7001). Excessive pain was the most common complication after diathermy excision and disturbed bowel function after stapled anopexy.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Haemorrhoidal prolapse was corrected equally by either operation.
