In this segment, Casey first gives us a good review of the anatomy of external hemorrhoids and then quickly moves into sharing his approach to managing this extremely painful and fairly common condition. He also shares with us his deep love of busting butt clot. Which would be somewhat disturbing were it not for the fact that so many of us secretly love it as all.

A great tip from a general surgeon that I use... After anesthetizing, lift and tent the skin at the top of the hemorrhoid and use scissors to cut below the tented skin. This makes an oval shaped opening to allow for drainage and is far easier than using a scalpel to cut out an ellipse.

Obviously lifting with forceps.
