Outpatient treatment of hemorrhoids with a combined technique: results in 7850 cases

Abstract: A combination of sclerotherapy, rubber band ligation and infrared coagulation was performed in 7850 patients seen an outpatient clinic over a period of 9 years. The most common symptom was bleeding followed by prolapse, pain and itching. Results were considered satisfactory in 7100 patients (90.5%); 750 (9.5%) required a formal hemorrhoidectomy. Complications were mild to moderate pain in 1777 cases (22.6%), severe pain in 157 cases (2.2%), mild hemorrhage in 199 (2.5%) and hemorrhage requiring transfusion in … Show more

“…Pooled OR, where calculable, showed no significant differences between SH and CH for anal fissure [14,23,34,35,48], anal fistula [35,37,43], haemorrhoidal thrombosis [21,[23][24][25]28,30,34,37,39,41,43], pelvic ⁄ perianal sepsis [28,31,36,37], or rectovaginal fistula [36] in the postoperative period. In the longer term there were no reports of anal fistula [39], pelvic ⁄ perianal sepsis [21,36] Stapled haemorrhoidopexy [21,36] after either procedure.…”
