One of the most common reasons to consult a coloproctologist is symptomatic haemorrhoids. Typical signs and symptoms as well as a specialised examination, including proctoscopy, are essential for the correct diagnosis. The vast majority of patients can be treated conservatively with excellent results in terms of quality of life. Sclerotherapy provides good control of symptoms at any stage of haemorrhoidal disease. If conservative treatment fails, there are various surgical options. A tailored approach is mandatory. Besides well-known procedures such as Fergusson, Milligan-Morgan procedure or haemorrhoidopexy (Longo) there are less invasive options such as HAL-RAR, IRT, LT and RFA. Postoperative bleeding, pain and faecal incontinence are rare complications after surgery.
