Abstract

The structure of the hemorrhoidal plexus is really that of a corpus cavernosum and it fulfills an important role normally in maintaining anal continence. It is situated asymmetrically in the inner portion of the anal canal because the rectum passes from left to right after leaving the abdomen to enter the pelvis and reach the pelvic floor.
