Background and Objectives: - Hemorrhoids are specialized, highly vascularized cushions within the normal anal canal. Hemorrhoidectomy is considered as an effective treatment for III degree and IV degree hemorrhoids. The conventional Milligan-Morgan open hemorrhoidectomy remains the more commonly performed operation. Ferguson's closed hemorrhoidectomy has gained considerable attention because of the less pain, faster wound healing and better patient compliance. Nonetheless, randomized controlled trials have reported conicting results regarding post-operative outcomes between two methods. Methods: - 60 patients were included in this study, who underwent hemorrhoidectomy, by split them into two equal groups. Group A underwent open hemorrhoidectomy and group B underwent closed hemorrhoidectomy. Patient in each group were studied in terms of post-operative pain, wound healing, bleeding, length of hospital stays and the results were analysed and tested with statistical methods. Results: - In study of 60 cases, peak incidence was found at 46 years of age and more common in males (5.67:1). Difference in pain between the 2 groups was found statistically signicant (P value <0.05). 29 (96/67%) patients had completely healed wound from group B (closed) at 3rd week compared to 5 (16.67%) from group B. 7 (23.3%) patients in closed group had complications, in contrast to 25 (83.3%) in open group. Conclusion: - We got in this study that patients who underwent Ferguson's closed hemorrhoidectomy had less post-operative pain, bleeding, complications, early healing of wound and early back to routine work compared to Milligan-Morgan's open hemorrhoidectomy group
