Scientific title
Study objectives	Stapled anopexy under perianal local block is as effective as surgery under general anaesthesia and provides a similar clinical outcome.
Ethics approval(s)	Approved by the Committee of Research and Ethics, University Hospital, Linkoping (Sweden) on the 11th March 2003 (ref: 03-087).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied	Mucoanal prolapse
Intervention	Perianal local anaestetic block versus general anaesthesia for stapled anopexy.
Intervention type	Other
Primary outcome measure	1. Symptom resolution after the operation was measured by five symptom questions (bleeding, pruritus, soiling, pain and prolapse) and graded by their frequency. The five symptoms were assessed at pre-operative examination and post-operative reexamination which was scheduled approximately 3 - 6 months after the procedure 2. Restoration of anatomy in the anal canal was measured by a post-operative examination 3 - 6 months after the operation
Secondary outcome measures	1. Surgeon's ratings of severity of the disease, complexity of the operation and success of the operation were measured with a 7-point scale. They were registered with protocol during the pre-operative examination, during the operation and during post-operative examination 3 - 6 months post-operatively 2. Post-operative pain, post-operative course and complications were measured by a patient dairy and at examination 3. Operation time and staple line height were registered during the operation
