“…Sclerobanding is a novel technique, recently described in the literature [ 14 ], aiming to merge the advantages of sclerotherapy with 3% polidocanol foam with rubber band ligation to treat second- and third-degree HD. The procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis without local anesthesia, reduced costs and no hospitalization or anesthetic support required.…”

Background: Sclerobanding is a novel technique combining rubber band ligation with 3% polidocanol foam sclerotherapy for the treatment of hemorrhoidal disease (HD). The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, safety and short-term outcomes of sclerobanding in the treatment of second- and third-degree HD. Methods: A retrospective analysis of second- and third-degree HD cases from November 2017 to August 2021 was performed. Patients on anticoagulants or with other HD degrees were excluded. Follow-up was conducted at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and then every 12 months. Results: 97 patients with second- (20 pts; 20.6%) and third-degree (77 pts; 79.4%) HD with a mean age of 52 years (20–84; SD ± 15.5) were included. Fifty-six patients were men (57.7%) and forty-one women (42.3%). Median follow-up was 13 months (1–26 months). No intraoperative adverse events or drug-related side effects occurred. Minor complications occurred in four patients (4.1%) in the first 30 postoperative days and all resolved after conservative treatment at the 3-month follow-up visit. No mortality or readmissions were observed. Conclusions: Sclerobanding is a safe technique with a low rate of minor postoperative complications. Further studies on larger samples are necessary to establish the effectiveness and long-term outcomes of the technique.

“…The combination of EBL with EIS indeed holds practical implications. Not only is noble therapy a “band and stent” approach, but the embolic agent below the band ligation serves to hold the band in place and reduce failure due to premature slippage [ 21 , 22 ]. Although the effective rate of sclerotherapy for prolapse is lower than hemorrhoidectomy.…”

Injection sclerotherapy for all grades of interhemorrhoids in various situations and co-morbidities has become popular method of treatment. Several types of surgical operations both conventional and stapled hemorrhoidectomy has many and serious described side effects. On the contrary, proctoscopic injection sclerotherapy using some of the modern sclerosants and thin bore needle injections is an office-based ambulatory method of treatment of internal hemorrhoids; it is low in cost, devoid of any major complications besides it is quite successful as reported. Its safety and efficacy has been published in recent years. This manuscript is a result of thorough systemic review using PRISMA guidelines on various sclerosing agents, their merits and demerits, methods of administration, and outcome in internal hemorrhoids.

“…In 2021, Sclerobanding, a combined technique of sclerotherapy with 3% polidocanol foam and rubber banding ligation, was described by Bracchitta et al ( 81 ). The aim of the authors is to further increase the results of both techniques, reducing the risk of delayed bleeding and abscess associated with each technique when applied alone.…”

Hemorrhoidal disease (HD) is the symptomatic enlargement and/or distal displacement of the normal hemorrhoidal cushions and is one of the most frequent diseases in colorectal surgery. Several surgical or office-based therapies are currently available, with the aim of being a more tailored approach. This article aimed to elucidate the historical evolution of surgical therapy for HD from ancient times, highlighting the crucial steps, controversies, and pioneers in the field. In contrast with the previous literature on the topic that is often updated to the 1990s, with the introduction of stapled hemorrhoidopexy and transanal hemorrhoidal dearterialization, this article describes all new surgical and office-based treatments introduced in the first 20 years of the 2000s.
