From 1978 to 1983, 111 @entity1 with symptomatic internal @entity6713 were treated as outpatients by a modification of the Barron ligation technique. Each ligated @entity6713 was injected with a sclerosant. Follow-up, available for 94 of the @entity1 , ranged from 2 to 60 months (mean 18 months). Presenting symptoms were @entity548 in 75 (80%) of the 94 @entity1 , @entity158 in 46 (49%), @entity111 in 22 (23%) and prolapse in 24 (26%). Results were excellent in 51 (54%) @entity1 , good in 20 (21%) and fair in 9 (10%). Fourteen (15%) @entity1 had unsatisfactory results; only 4 of these required hemorrhoidectomy. The other 10 had residual symptoms but did not require further treatment. Nine @entity1 had minor complications, which included @entity158 lasting 24 to 72 hours in seven, @entity548 in one and @entity1163 in one. The addition of sclerotherapy to traditional band ligation for the management of internal @entity6713 has the advantages of exciting a greater inflammatory reaction between the mucosa and submucosa and preventing premature slipping of the band. The authors conclude that this method of therapy is effective for symptomatic @entity6713 and that surgical hemorrhoidectomy is seldom indicated.
