About this trial

The subjects of this study were patients who took mixed haemorrhoidectomy during the period of December 2024 - December 2025 . The haemorrhoidectomy patients were randomly divided into routine group, red light group and red and blue light group, and were given different ways of trauma care, and the number of cases in each group was 105 , with a total of 305 cases. Observe the difference between red and blue light irradiation and routine care on the healing time of postoperative trauma and postoperative complications after haemorrhoidectomy, and evaluate the patients' quality of life and satisfaction with treatment under both red light irradiation and routine care.
