Haemorrhoidal disease is one of the most frequent disorders in western countries. The aim of individual therapy is eradication of symptoms achieved by normalisation of anatomy and physiology. Treatment is orientated to the stage of the disease: First-degree haemorrhoids are treated conservatively. In addition to high fibre diet, sclerotherapy is used. Haemorrhoids of the 2nd degree prolapse during defecation and return spontaneously. First-line treatment is rubber band ligation. Third-degree haemorrhoids that prolapse during defecation have to be digitally reduced. The majority of these patients need surgery. For segmental disorders haemorrhoidectomy according to Milligan-Morgan or Ferguson is recommended. In circular disease Stapler haemorrhoidopexy is now the procedure of choice. Using a classification orientated therapeutical regime orientated to the classification of haemorrhoidal disease offers high healing rates with a low rate of complications and recurrences.
