The goal of this prospective clinical trial is to compare the outcomes of several technical options of open hemorrhoidectomy in patients with symptomatic hemorrhoids. Randomly allocated participants will undergo surgical treatment for hemorrhoids with one technical option of open hemorrhoidecomy: with 'cold' scalpel or electrosurgical instruments. All information to evaluate outcomes between the groups will be collected before surgery and 1 week and 30 days after surgery.
