“…This therapy can be an effective alternative, especially for internal hemorrhoid patients with obvious pain after RBL. Mok et al [60] developed a similar endoscopic bipolar electrocoagulation device for the treatment of internal hemorrhoids, which also achieved good results. Wei [61] showed safety and efficacy of endoscopic unipolar electrocoagulation in 100 cases of grade II-III internal hemorrhoids, and the recurrence rate at 3 years of followup was only 6%.…”

Hemorrhoids are one of the most common diseases of the anorectal region. Previously, treatment for hemorrhoids included conservative treatment, outpatient treatment, and surgical treatment. The development of flexible reversible endoscopes has provided precise controllability and imaging, enabling further improvement and development of various endoscopic techniques to treat hemorrhoids. This article discusses several of these endoscopic techniques: rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy, and electrocoagulation. The development, efficacy, and advantages of these treatments are summarized and evaluated. It is expected that going forward, endoscopic technology will be further applied in clinical practice and may become the first-line method for the treatment of hemorrhoids.
