“…24 However, previous studies suggest the usefulness of flexible colonoscopy for grading of hemorrhoids because the red color, circumference, size, and degree of elevation of rectal columns were found to be associated with rectal bleeding. 25,26 Third, caution should be taken with extrapolation of FP results from this study to the screening setting because subjects from a referral setting were tested, who might well have a higher prevalence and/or different bleeding pattern of hemorrhoids.…”

“…Sadahiro et al . were the first to report the usefulness of retroflexed colonoscope for evaluating internal hemorrhoids 6 . These investigators reported that retroflexed colonoscope was superior to conventional anoscope for examining and evaluating internal hemorrhoids.…”

“…In the later case however, the symptoms may completely dominate and distort the clinical findings. Dilated veins, white areas, and a large hypertrophied anal papilla are often found in prolapsing types of hemorrhoids [5] . In the past, these structures were not given any importance and were left untreated.…”

AIM: Hypertrophied anal papillae and fibrous anal polyps are not given due importance in the proctology practice. They are mostly ignored being considered as normal structures. The present study was aimed to demonstrate that hypertrophied anal papillae and fibrous anal polyps could cause symptoms to the patients and that they should be removed in treatment of patients with chronic fissure in anus. METHODS:Two groups of patients were studied. A hundred patients were studied in group A in which the associated fibrous polyp or papillae were removed by radio frequency surgical device after a lateral subcutaneous sphincterotomy for relieving the sphincter spasm. Another group of a hundred patients who also had papillae or fibrous polyps, were treated by lateral sphincterotomy alone. They were followed up for one year. RESULTS:Eighty-nine percent patients from group A expressed their satisfaction with the treatment in comparison to only 64% from group B who underwent sphincterotomy alone with the papillae or anal polyps left untreated. Group A patients showed a marked reduction with regard to pain and irritation during defecation (P = 0.0011), pricking or foreign body sensation in the anus (P = 0.0006) and pruritus or wetness around the anal verge (P = 0.0008). CONCLUSION:Hypertrophied anal papillae and fibrous anal polyps should be removed during treatment of chronic anal fissure. This would add to effectiveness and completeness of the procedure.Gupta PJ.
