The search of innovative procedures, able to associate the possibility of treating the hemorrhoidal disease with of "mini-invasiveness", is of growing interest. This paper reports the results obtained during our experience in threating the hemorrhoidal disease with Doppler-guided THD (Transanal Hemorroidal Dearterialisation), which is a technique improved in the last 4 years (February 2004 - November 2009) on a sample of 408 patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate, in a short-term follow-up period, the level of satisfaction and post-operative pain, normal working routine recovery time and the incidence of early and late post-operative complications in our patients. Our results encourage the use of this technique which appears to be safe, quickly performed and characterized by minimal pain and low incidence of complications in the post-operative period.

The London Protocol and Classification were developed to standardize anorectal motility patterns classification. This proof-of-concept study aims to develop and validate an artificial intelligence model for identification and differentiation of disorders of anal tone and contractility in HR-ARM.
