A Comparative Study of the Methods of Treatment for Haemorrhoids

Early results of the treatment of internal hemorrhoid disease by infrared coagulation and elastic banding: a prospective randomized cross-over trial

“…Our study showed that the consumption of analgesics was generally greater 24 hours after RBL than IRC; however, there was no significant difference after 24 postoperative hours. This is contrary to another series that reported IRC as the more painful method [21]. The use of dipyrone was higher after each treatment session with RBL.…”

Anorectal function and clinical outcome after open and closed haemorrhoidectomy, with and without internal sphincterotomy. A prospective study

“…In retrospective series, its rate is around 6% after MM, and between 1% and 22% after F operation [1,37]. Anal dilation was more often required to treat a stricture after MM than after F haemorrhoidectomy, in our series.…”

Cryosurgical haemorrhoidectomy

“…maximal anal dilatation have been compared in groups of 100 patients each (Jones and Schofield, 1974). The use of cryosurgery for the treatment of haemorrhoids has been advocated recently (Lewis et al, 1969;Lewis, 1972;Williams et al, 1973).…”
