Abstract
The objective of the study was to demonstrate the effectiveness of infrared photocoagulation (IRC) for the outpatient treatment of internal haemorrhoids.
One hundred and seven consecutive patients were prospectively studied during a 2-year period in a general surgery ambulatory practice using a Redfield infrared coagulation system without anaesthesia or sedation.
There was improvement in 73% of patients. Fifty-nine percent of patients became asymptomatic and 14% of patients had partial improvement with reduction in bleeding and prolapse. No response was seen in 15%.
Infrared coagulation should be considered as a simple trouble-free option in the outpatient management of haemorrhoids.
