Removal Of A Clotted External Hemorrhoid

Delaware rates for HCPCS 46320

Under local anesthetic, the swollen vein at the anal opening that has clotted is cut out along with the clot inside it, rather than the clot alone being drained. The small wound is then closed or left to heal on its own. Taking out the hemorrhoid itself relieves the sudden pain quickly and makes another clot forming in the same spot less likely.
