Longer compression time (2 minutes) before stapler firing in staple hemorrhoidopexy resulted in decreased postoperative bleeding compared to typical compression time (30 seconds). Typical compression time was associated with higher rates of bleeding, additional procedures, and fecal urgency. No significant differences were found in dehiscence and stenosis rates between the groups.
