Abstract: Objective To analyze the clinical efficacy of floating needle therapy in treating anal prolapse after mixed hemorrhoid stapler hemorrhoid mucosal circular resection (PPH). Methods A total of 90 patients with anal collapsion after mixed hemorrhoids PPH in the proctology department of Tai 'an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2021 to December 2022 were selected and divided into two groups by random number table method, 45 cases in control group and 45 cases in study group. The control group only received conventional basic treatment after surgery, while the study group received conventional basic treatment after surgery at the same time, floating needle treatment was carried out, and the clinical efficacy, anal distension degree, distension time score, defecation situation, edema degree of the two groups were analyzed and compared. Results The total effective rate of the study group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Compared with before treatment, the degree and duration of anal distension in both groups were significantly reduced 12 days after treatment (P<0.05); moreover, the study group showed a more significant decrease in the degree and duration of anal distension 12 days after treatment (P<0.05). Compared to before treatment, the defecation and edema scores of both groups were significantly reduced 12 days after treatment (P<0.05); moreover, the study group showed a more significant decrease in bowel movements and edema scores 12 days after treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion When treating anal prolapse and swelling after mixed hemorrhoids PPH surgery, floating needle therapy can achieve significant therapeutic effects. It not only effectively alleviates the sensation of anal prolapse and swelling, significantly shortens the time of prolapse and swelling, but also improves defecation and edema, which is worth application.
