Abstract:Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of endoscopic rubber band ligation (ERBL) and classic surgical stapler procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) in the treatment of hemorrhoids.Methods 40 hemorrhoid patients (degrees Ⅱ and Ⅲ) from January 2018 to January 2020 who underwent ERBL and PPH were selected respectively. The observation group was ERBL patients, and the control group was PPH patients. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, early and late postoperative complications, and treatment effects were compared between the two groups. At the same time, the correlation between the number of ligation loops in the ERBL group and the occurrence of early and late complications of ligation was compared.Results The operation time, intraoperative blood loss and postoperative hospital stay in the ERBL group were significantly less than those in the control group (PPH group), and the difference was statistically significant (P = 0.000); The incidence of early postoperative complications, pain and tenesmus in the ERBL group were significantly lower those in the PPH group (P = 0.004, P = 0.044), but the total effective rate difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (χ2 = 0.26, P = 0.608). There was no significant difference between the number of ligation rings and the early and late complications (P > 0.05).Conclusion The total effective rate of ERBL and PPH in the treatment of hemorrhoids is similar. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss and postoperative hospital stay in the EBRL group are significantly less than those in the PPH group. The number of different ligation rings has no significant effect on the incidence of early and late complications after ERBL. It is safe and effective in the treatment of hemorrhoids, and can be used in clinic.
