This article examines the care of patients with haemorrhoids, and explores the aetiology, epidemiology and assessment of the condition. Information is provided on the different forms of treatment, and the importance of lifestyle interventions is reinforced. The post-operative nursing care of patients undergoing surgical procedures, including haemorrhoidectomy, is discussed, emphasising pain relief, hygiene and prevention of constipation.

Long-term Outcomes After Minimally Invasive Ventral Rectopexy for Rectal Prolapse Using Biologic Graft Prosthesis: A 15-Year Retrospective Cohort Study.
Dis Colon Rectum
January 2025
Department of Surgery, Division of Colorectal Surgery, The Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
Background: Minimally invasive ventral rectopexy has widely become the preferred prolapse procedure. However there have been recent concerns regarding the safety of permanent synthetic mesh in the pelvis. Biologic grafts have also been commonly used as an alternative prosthesis, but data on their safety and the longevity of the prolapse repair have been lacking.

Department of Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, Graduate School of Medical Science, Kyoto, Japan.
Objectives: Effective treatments for diarrhea-type irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) are limited. Hangeshashinto (HST), an anti-inflammatory Kampo medicine, may offer benefits but its efficacy for IBS-D requires further investigation. This study evaluated IBS-D symptom improvement and gut microbiota changes following HST administration.

Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Cancer Institute Hospital, Japanese Foundation for Cancer Research, Tokyo, Japan.
Objectives: Although curative resection for synchronous peritoneal carcinomatosis has been reported to improve prognosis, cases with positive intraoperative lavage cytology have not been reported. In this study, we investigated the prognostic value of potentially curative resection based on colorectal cancer and lavage cytology positivity in patients with synchronous peritoneal carcinomatosis.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 72 patients who underwent intraoperative lavage cytology and one-stage potentially curative resection of primary and metastatic lesions (lavage cytology-positive, n = 21; lavage cytology-negative, n = 51) between July 2004 and December 2019.
Efficiency of Real-time Computer-aided Polyp Detection during Surveillance Colonoscopy: A Pilot Study.
J Anus Rectum Colon
January 2025
Department of Gastroenterology, Hiroshima University Hospital, Hiroshima, Japan.
Objectives: Studies have suggested that computer-aided polyp detection using artificial intelligence improves adenoma identification during colonoscopy. However, its real-world effectiveness remains unclear. Therefore, this study evaluated the usefulness of computer-aided detection during regular surveillance colonoscopy.

J Anus Rectum Colon
January 2025
Juzen General Hospital, Niihama, Japan.
Achieving hemostasis during post-hemorrhoidectomy bleeding (PHB) is often challenging owing to poor visibility within the anal canal. We investigated the feasibility of using endoscopy for observation and maintaining hemostasis during PHB. Endoscopic evaluation was performed in patients with normal vital signs and no severe pain or excessive bleeding was observed during proctoscopy.
