How common are complications from external hemorrhoid surgery? (hemorrhoidectomy) horror stories about people needing diapers forever afterwords, ect.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very rare: There are horror stories for every operation - and while incontinence can happen after any rectal surgery - it is rare.
