Treatments for low degree hemorrhoids (I-III degree) are numerous and so are their counterparts for higher degrees. These treatments present nebulous differences in terms of indications and outcomes among techniques. Methods previously abandoned due to side effects and long-term results have recently rejoined the mainstream due to recent peculiar modifications: Hemorrhoidal sclerotherapy is enjoying a new age of interest due to the use of the foam form of polidocanol, which is more effective than the liquid one. Various articles have already shown promising results and the logical next step is the combination of polidocanol foam with rubber-band ligation (the historical counterpart of sclerotherapy) in a technique called "sclerobanding". In this article, we comment on the publication by Qu further modifying the use of sclerobanding through an endoscopic delivery for patients with grade II-III internal hemorrhoids, and present results compared with endoscopic rubber band ligation. The results achieved are promising.
