Summary

Haemorrhoidal disease treatment has evolved from symptomatic relief to advanced outpatient procedures like injection sclerotherapy. Modern understanding of anal structures supports rational treatments, with Doppler-guided artery ligation showing future promise.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Medical History

Background:

  • Historically, anal complaints were managed symptomatically with limited options.
  • Injection sclerotherapy became a widespread outpatient treatment for haemorrhoidal disease since the mid-20th century.
  • The spongy body theory of haemorrhoids, accepted in the last 40 years, has spurred functional investigations and rational treatment development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present and discuss conditions and options for outpatient haemorrhoid treatment.
  • To evaluate acceptance, risks, and potential complications of various haemorrhoid treatments.
  • To explore the potential of Doppler-guided isolated haemorrhoidal artery ligation (HAL) as a future outpatient method.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical and current treatment modalities for haemorrhoidal disease.
  • Discussion of patient-managed options (diet, behavior, ointments, dilatation).
  • Evaluation of minimally invasive procedures (sclerotherapy, rubber band ligation) and surgical options (HAL).

Main Results:

  • Patient-managed methods are generally safe and effective for mild cases.
  • Sclerotherapy and rubber band ligation, while effective, carry underestimated risks.
  • Doppler-guided HAL presents a promising future outpatient surgical option for haemorrhoids.

Conclusions:

  • Outpatient management of haemorrhoids has advanced significantly, offering various treatment options.
  • A shift towards understanding anal structures has enabled more rational and effective interventions.
  • While traditional surgery remains preferred for extensive cases in some regions, minimally invasive and future outpatient procedures are gaining traction.
