Objectives: This study aims to clarify the appropriate follow-up period after aluminum potassium sulfate and tannic acid (ALTA) sclerotherapy for internal hemorrhoids by transanal ultrasonography.
Methods: Forty-four patients (98 lesions) who underwent ALTA sclerotherapy were analyzed. Transanal ultrasonography was performed pre and post-ALTA sclerotherapy to observe the thickness and the internal echo image of hemorrhoid tissue.
