Block size =4.  possible ways = 6. Permuted block randomization=15. Block selection numbers with random numbers table. Unit randomization: individual. A person who specifies the sequence is the executor of plan not the surgeon,the designer must hide the information from the surgeon.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: patients in this group undergo stapled hemorrhoidectomy. This is done in 5 steps and in the following order: 1. Slow anal canal dilatation for inserting the device with a dilator. 2. Speculum insertion. 3. Creata a pure-String Suture. 4. Insert Stapler. 5. Bleeding control in the anastomosis line. Intervention 2: Control group: patients in this group underwent conventional hemorrhoidectomy.In this procedure, the entire pocket is removed and the mucosa is close to the cut line and the rest of the skin wounds are kept open.</i_freetext>
