      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: To allocate patients to treatment groups (A: conventional hemorrhoidectomy and B: laser hemorrhoidopexy), a block randomization method with a fixed block size of 4 will be used. This approach is adopted to ensure appropriate balance and predictability of allocation throughout the study; in each block of four, two patients are always assigned to group A and two patients to group B. The exact allocation sequence in each block (such as AABB or BABA) will be selected completely randomly from six possible possibilities, and this sequence generation process will be performed by a statistician independent of the study implementation team. To ensure allocation concealment and prevent bias, the randomly generated sequences will be placed inside opaque, sealed, and numbered envelopes. The opaqueness of the envelopes ensures that the internal content (letter A or B) is not visible from the outside, and their sealing prevents premature opening. The final group assignment process takes place in the operating room, just after the patient is put under anesthesia. At this point, the surgical team opens the next sealed envelope, and the letter inside the envelope determines the type of surgical intervention (A or B).</study_design>
