Definition and Validation of HeQAS for the Assessment of Technical Quality in Excisional Hemorrhoidectomy
Sponsor: Hospital Son Llatzer
Summary
This observational multicenter study aims to develop and validate the Hemorrhoidectomy Quality Assessment Scale (HeQAS), a histopathological tool designed to assess the technical quality of excisional hemorrhoidectomy. The project includes a methodological validation phase using blinded assessment of surgical specimens by expert pathologists, followed by a clinical cohort phase comparing micro-open excisional hemorrhoidectomy (microOEH) and conventional open excisional hemorrhoidectomy (OEH) in real-world practice. The study will evaluate the reproducibility and applicability of HeQAS and explore whether microOEH is associated with lower histological tissue damage than conventional OEH.
