Polidocanol Foam Sclerotherapy Versus Rubber Band Ligation in Hemorrhoidal Disease Grades I/II/III: Randomized Trial

Paulo Salgueiro et al.

Summary: Rubber band ligation and polidocanol foam sclerotherapy are both effective office-based procedures for the treatment of hemorrhoidal disease. Polidocanol foam sclerotherapy is more effective than rubber band ligation in terms of complete success, requiring fewer treatment sessions, having lower recurrence rates, and being less likely to result in complications.

A Stepwise Proposal for Low-Grade Hemorrhoidal Disease: Injection Sclerotherapy as a First-Line Treatment and Rubber Band Ligation for Persistent Relapses

Roberta Tutino et al.

Summary: Outpatient treatments, including rubber band ligation (RBL) and injection sclerotherapy (IS), are commonly used for managing low-grade hemorrhoidal disease. RBL appears to be more efficient in symptom resolution for second-degree disease and comparable or superior for third-degree disease, while IS offers lower rates of severe post-operative pain and minor complications.

Short-Term Results of Sclerotherapy with 3% Polidocanol Foam for Symptomatic Second- and Third-Degree Hemorrhoidal Disease

Pierluigi Lobascio et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that sclerotherapy with 3% polidocanol foam for hemorrhoidal disease is effective, safe, and convenient, with a high success rate and quick recovery for patients. Most patients experienced symptom relief without the need for further surgical intervention, making it a cost-effective and repeatable conservative treatment option.

A worldwide survey on proctological practice during COVID-19 lockdown (ProctoLock 2020): a cross-sectional analysis

Gaetano Gallo et al.

Summary: Proctology has been heavily impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic. A survey was conducted with surgeons in the field, revealing that factors such as gender, availability of personal protective equipment, and involvement in COVID-19 care influenced the likelihood of ongoing surgical practice. Different regions also showed varying levels of impact on proctological practice.
