Combined rubber band ligation with 3% polidocanol foam sclerotherapy (ScleroBanding) for the treatment of second‐degree haemorrhoidal disease: a video vignette

Abstract

Sclerotherapy (SCL) and rubber banding ligation (RBL) are recognised options in the treatment of second degree haemorrhoidal disease (HD) [1]. They are low-risk, inexpensive, repeatable and can be performed as office-based procedures [2][3]. The simultaneous combined use of both techniques may improve symptom control and long-term results [4][5]. However, no studies in the literature describe the use of 3% polidocanol foam as a sclerotizing agent in combination.
