Authors : Lokesh Kulshrestha

Abstract: This study was conducted to evaluate the role of polidocanol as sclerosing agent in internal haemorrhoids. Total 336 cases of 1st and early 2nd degree haemorrhoid cases were treated by polidocanol injection sclerotherapy as an outdoor procedure. The injection was placed in the upper part of the haemorrhoid in submucosal plane. Out of 336 patients, 250 were male and 86 were female, the age ranged from 20-80 years, 141 patients had 1st degree haemorrhoids and 195 had 2nd degree haemorrhoids. Injection sclerotherapy cured 265 patients, improved 60 and it failed in 4 patients. The 15 patients had repeat session and 17 patients had concomitant illness. Complication in the form of complain of pain occurred in 8 patients and local sepsis in 2 patients. All complications were treated successfully. This method is easy, convenient, cheap and effectively practicable at outdoor level.
