Hemorrhoidectomy with self-retaining retraction

Dis Colon Rectum. 1996 Sep;39(9):1058-9. doi: 10.1007/BF02054700.

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.
