Efficacy and safety of sclerotherapy with polidocanol foam in comparison with fluid sclerosant in the treatment of first-grade haemorrhoidal disease: a randomised, controlled, single-blind, multicentre trial

摘要

Purpose Sclerotherapy is the treatment of choice for first-grade haemorrhoidal disease. Numerous studies have shown that sclerotherapy with foamed sclerosants is more efficacious than liquid in the treatment of varicose veins. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of polidocanol foam in comparison with liquid for haemorrhoidal disease.
