Abstract

AbstractHemorrhoidal disease is one of most common pathologies seen by colorectal and general surgeons. Although hemorrhoids themselves are a normal anatomic occurrence, development of symptomatic disease, usually due to bleeding, prolapse, or thrombosis, can cause significant patient distress. Acute presentation related to significant thrombosis or bleeding is referred to as acute hemorrhoidal crisis. Management of this pathology varies from nonoperative intervention for symptom control to definitive incisional or excisional hemorrhoidectomy. Here we will explore the approach to evaluating and treating acute hemorrhoidal crises.
