This study evaluates surgical outcomes and quality-of-life improvements in patients managed via a multidisciplinary approach.\nMethods: A prospective observational study was conducted at Kanachur Institute of Medical Sciences (January 2023 – December 2024). Fifty-two symptomatic patients underwent laparoscopic management (shaving, disc excision, or segmental resection). Pain was assessed using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores.\nResults: Segmental resection was required in 30.8% of cases. Post-operative VAS scores for dyschezia dropped from 8.4±1.2 to 2.1±0.8 (p<0.001). Minor complications occurred in 11.5% of cases.\nConclusion: Multidisciplinary surgical intervention provides significant symptomatic relief with manageable morbidity.Pages: 325-327 | 393 Views | 171 Downloads\nDownload Full Article: Click Here\nHow to cite this article:\nChaitra Krishna Bhat.
