Core Tip

Core Tip: The clinical manifestations, pathogenesis, classification, and treatment in patients with internal hemorrhoids are briefly summarized. Endoscopic rubber band ligation (RBL) and injection sclerotherapy are widely used and recommended as a first-line outpatient procedure for hemorrhoids. In the prospective and multicenter study performed by Qu et al, endoscopic polidocanol foam sclerobanding, combining endoscopic polidocanol foam sclerotherapy with RBL, is evaluated in a clinical trial as a new procedure. It is a unique method to treat grade II and grade III internal hemorrhoids by reducing prolapse recurrence, reducing 24-h post-procedural pain, and improving long-term efficacy compared with endoscopic RBL.
