Hemorrhoid therapy at Meliva Kardiolita Hospital in Vilnius, Lithuania, provides specialized surgical and diagnostic care in the only JCI-accredited facility in the Baltic States. The hospital follows international safety standards to maintain a post-surgery complication rate of less than 2%. Patients receive a complete care cycle within the Gastroenterology Center, covering everything from initial screening to advanced surgical removal.
Diagnostic Methods
The hospital uses several methods to identify the type and stage of hemorrhoids. Doctors perform these exams to view the internal lining of the rectum and lower colon. These tests help determine if surgery is necessary or if less invasive options are possible. The diagnostic suite includes:
- Rectoscopy to examine the rectum in detail
- Anoscopy for a close look at the anal canal
- Proctosigmoidoscopy to check both the rectum and sigmoid colon
- Sigmoidoscopy for deeper inspection of the large intestine
Surgical Procedures
When conservative treatments fail, the surgical team at the Gastroenterology Center performs advanced procedures to remove hemorrhoidal tissue. The center focuses on methods that reduce pain and help patients recover faster. Available surgical options include:
- Hemorrhoidectomy with lateral sphincterotomy to remove nodules and reduce muscle tension
- Ligature tightening for treating both anal fissures and hemorrhoidal nodules

Meliva Kardiolita Hospital maintains a focus on patient safety, resulting in a complication rate below 2%. International patients have access to an English-speaking coordinator who assists throughout the stay. The facility also provides on-site rehabilitation services to support the healing process after surgery. This approach combines medical expertise with structured recovery care in a single location.
