What Are Hemorrhoidectomy Preoperative Procedures?

I would like to know the pre surgery preparations for hemorrhoidectomy. How similar is it to a colonoscopy? I am 62 years old and have had 3 colonoscopies. I would like to have this surgery this year for my insurance deductible and already have a Dr lined up.

* Preparations for hemorrhoidectomy are a bit different than colonoscopy

smooth bowel passage the morning of surgery .
- Nil by mouth 6 hours prior to surgery .
- Shaving of the local part .
