Abstract
The Longo technique of stapled hemorrhoidectomy is rapidly gaining world-wide acceptance. However, hemorrhoids with large external components are often left with troublesome skin tags after the Longo technique. In this article we present modifications to the Longo technique that make it easier to perform and provide adequate treatment of hemorrhoids that have a significant external component or skin tags.
