The immediate and long-term results of treatment of patients with chronic hemorrhoids were compared in two groups of patients. The A. Longo method of operation was used in one group of patients, suture ligation of the distal branches of the superior rectum artery was used in the other group. The second method was shown to have some advantages over the Longo operation, but the long-term results show greater effectiveness of the Longo method.
