Aims The objective of this study was to compare the perioperative, short-term, and long-term outcomes of stapled hemorrhoidectomy with Ferguson hemorrhoidectomy. Materials and methods The present meta-analysis pooled the effects of outcomes of a total 926 patients treated with stapled or Ferguson hemorrhoidectomy in five out of 122 screened for retrieval randomized controlled trials using the fixed-effects or a random-effects model. Results Stapled hemorroidectomy was equivalent to the Ferguson procedure in comparisons pertaining to the following outcomes: hospital stay, postoperative hemorrhage requiring intervention, early postoperative bleeding Conclusions There is convincingly apparent evidence about the safety and efficacy of stapled hemorrhoidectomy in the comparison with the well-established Ferguson procedure.
