The management of symptomatic hemorrhoidal disease is based on the severity of symptoms and preexisting medical conditions that may preclude one treatment option over another. The majority of patients can be managed in the office setting with nonexcisional methods including injection sclerotherapy, rubber band ligation, and infrared coagulation. The small percentage of patients that fail this management warrant evaluation for surgical excisional hemorrhoidectomy. In recent years, newer techniques such as advanced energy devices for excision, circular stapled hemorrhoidopexy, and Doppler-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation have been introduced. The purported advantage of these device-driven surgical options is similar efficacy with less pain. Unfortunately, although there are proponents for each approach, the device costs remain problematic, and the outcome improvement has been limited, especially in terms of long-term efficacy. Surgeons are urged to learn the standard techniques so that they can assess the newer options for themselves. This review contains 9 figures, 4 tables, and 71 references.

Clinical Problems

Hemorrhoids are vascular spaces forming cushions above the anal canal which allow the passage of gas without stool, and cause clinical problems only when they become engorged and prolapse with resulting pain, bleeding, itching or discharge. Hemorrhoids require treatment only if they cause symptoms, and should be treated only as long as symptoms persist. Techniques of treatment including injection therapy, rubber band ligation, infrared coagulation, bipolar probe, heater probe, ultroid and YAG laser are described. At present, rubber banding is the most cost effective therapy. Diet education is essential to prevent recurrence.

The Comparative Study

BACKGROUND: The ideal therapy for hemorrhoids is always debated. For early grades of the disease, many different modalities of treatment have been proposed. Some are effective but are more painful, others are less painful but their efficacy is not assured on long term. Infrared photocoagulation has emerged as a new addition to the list. In this procedure, the tissue is coagulated by infrared radiation. During treatment, mechanical pressure and radiation energy are applied simultaneously to ablate the blood supply to the hemorrhoidal mass. METHODS: In the present retrospective study, the effect of infrared coagulation on patients with early grades of hemorrhoids is described. In a separate study, a comparison is made between Infrared coagulation and rubber band ligation in terms of their effectiveness and discomfort. RESULTS: 212 patients were treated by infrared coagulation and were followed up for a period of 18 months. Only 28 patients had persistence or recurrence of bleeding. Overall ratio of comfort and patient satisfaction from pain and bleeding was quite satisfactory. The comparative study showed that though rubber band ligation is more effective, it is a more painful procedure. CONCLUSION: These studies shows that Infrared coagulation for hemorrhoids in early stages could prove to be a easy and effective alternative to conventional methods as it is quick, less painful and safe. The procedure can be repeated in case of recurrence and should be considered as the first choice in early hemorrhoids.
