Popis: Background. Choosing the most suitable treatment for Hemorrhoidal Disease (HD) still poses problems for both patients and doctors.

We had as Main Objective the comparison of average hospitalization costs and as Secondary Objectives the evaluation of postoperative hospitalization, complications, recurrences, the influence on the final cost of social costs.
