Is going to be carried out with patients from 18 to 70 years old with hemorrhoids in a level III and IV in the Lord scale. In the surgery Longo's intervention would be done by two ways differing in the distance of the suture from the tobacco pouch to the anal margin (4.5 cm in the first group and 6 cm in the second group).
