Objective To investigate the clinical curative effect of divided excision and plastic combined with procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) in treatment for circular mixed hemorrhoids. Methods Clinical observation on 120 patients with circular mixed hemorrhoids between May 2007 and May 2008 treated by divided excision and plastic combined with PPH was carried out.

Average scores of pain in 3 d after operation: 5.3 points (1-8 points) on day 1, 3.6 points （2-9 points） on day 2, 2.2 points （1-8 points） on day 3. All patients were followed up for 12 months, there were 3 cases of hematochezia， 1 case of prolapse, and 1 case of remained abnormal outgrowth skin; the anus function was normal in all cases without anal stricture or tightening feeling.
