Abstract
Stapled hemorrhoidectomy is gaining popularity worldwide. One problem that is often encountered is difficulty with insertion of the circular anal dilator because of very protuberant and fatty buttocks and a narrow interischial tuberosity distance. We describe a modification of this device for easier introduction in such patients.
