â  background treatment of hemorrhoid disease is one of the most challenging fields in general surgery in which different methods are used to treat this condition. in this study, we compared the manometric and clinical results of three treatment methods for hemorrhoids. me t hod s a total of 150 patients with symptomatic grades ii or iii internal hemorrhoids were randomly assigned to three grou...

hemorrhoid is one of the most common surgical diseases and different methods are available for its treatment. this study is a comparison between two methods of treatment of internal hemorrhoid, monopolar low voltage instrument (ultroid) and rubber band ligation. this method has been carried out prospectively in which 50 patients who were treated with rubber band ligation and 50 patients with ul...

One hundred and thirty seven previously untreated out-patients with first and second degree haemorrhoids were allocated at random to treatment by infrared coagulation (n=66) or rubber band ligation (n=71). Complete follow up was obtained in 122 patients (60 who had undergone infrared coagulation (group 1), and 62 rubber band ligation (group 2)) at periods from three months to one year after com...

BACKGROUND Haemorrhoids is a common anorectal disease seen in our society. Conservative management is usually adopted for 1st and 2nd degree haemorrhoids. Patients who do not respond to above management are the candidates for other modalities of treatment which includes sclerotherapy, rubber band ligation, cryosurgery and stapler gun or open haemorrhoidectomy. The purpose of study was to compar...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess whether any method of hemorrhoid therapy has been shown to be superior in randomized, controlled trials. METHOD A meta-analysis was performed of all randomized, controlled trials assessing two or more treatment modalities for symptomatic hemorrhoids. Outcome variables included response to therapy, need for further therapy, complications, and pai...

Background: Haemorrhoids is a common disease affecting people of all ages and both sexes. Though there is a consensus on the treatment of 3rd and 4th degree haemorrhoids, there is still confusion regarding the ideal treatment for Ist and IInd degree haemorrhoids. Aims: To compare the safety, efficacy, advantages and disadvantages of Rubber Band Ligation and Micronized Flavonoids in the treatmen...

BACKGROUND Hemorrhoid laser procedure is a new laser procedure for outpatient treatment of hemorrhoids in which hemorrhoidal arterial flow feeding the hemorrhoidal plexus is stopped by means of Doppler-guided laser coagulation. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to compare the hemorrhoid laser procedure with rubber band ligation for outpatient treatment of symptomatic hemorrhoids with moderate mucosal pro...

Objective: The ob ject ive of the s tudy i s to e val uate the effectiveness of rubber band ligation in the treatment of internal hemorrhoids. Methods: This is a prospective study of 120 cases who underwent rubber band ligation as an outpatient procedure for internal haemorrhoids. Binomial probability pre-post test were used for statistical analysis, pvalue less than 0.0001 was taken as signifi...

PURPOSE This study was designed to assess whether Doppler-guided hemorrhoid artery ligation can prevent patients from needing conventional surgery when rubber band ligation of their hemorrhoids has failed to achieve symptomatic relief. METHODS All patients who underwent treatment for hemorrhoids in two hospitals between September 2004 and June 2007 are reported. RESULTS A total of 203 patie...
