Abstract
Elastic banding and sclerotherapy are the two most commonly performed instrumental therapies in the treatment of symptomatic internal hemorrhoids. Promising results have been shown with sclerotherapy using 2 % polidocanol foam. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of polidocanol foam in the treatment of symptomatic internal hemorrhoids.
