Endoscopic rubber band ligation, injection sclerotherapy, and sclerobanding for the treatment of internal hemorrhoids

Key Points

• Endoscopic sclerobanding is associated with lower recurrence rates and postoperative pain in grade II-III hemorrhoids.
• For grade I hemorrhoids, all three treatments provide similar clinical outcomes without significant adverse events.
• Observational analysis across various surgical centers shows that both injection sclerotherapy and endoscopic rubber band ligation have durable effects.
• This highlights the need to consider specific treatment options based on hemorrhoid severity for optimal patient care.
