The hospital stay for hemorrhoid surgery is generally divided into two periods: pre-operative and post-operative. The pre-operative period mainly involves pre-operative examinations, such as electrocardiograms, chest X-rays, and blood tests, which typically take about one to two days. The post-operative period mainly involves waiting for all the hemorrhoidal ligature threads to fall off, which typically takes about seven to ten days. Therefore, patients can usually be discharged about seven to ten days after surgery, making the total hospital stay approximately eight to twelve days. Thus, a normal and smooth hemorrhoid surgery generally requires a hospital stay of eight to twelve days.
