Comparison of the Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Endoscopic Superior Rectal Mucosal Ligation and Hemorrhoids Ligation

Endoscopic superior rectal mucosal ligation and hemorrhoids ligation are two types of endoscopic ligation, The aim of this study is to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of these two approaches.If you accept this study,you need to provide case information before the operation, complete the endoscopic treatment according to the routine colonoscopy procedure, and follow-up survey after the operation.

Treatment and study plan

Endoscopic superior rectal mucosal ligation

Procedure

The patient takes the left side decubitus position, the endoscope is connected with 6 serial ligators, the cup of the sleeve is pointed at the upper edge of the straight anal line and the rectal mucosa is continuously aspirated under negative pressure. The mucosa enters the sleeve and sees a full-screen red sign. The sensing loop is successfully triggered, indicating that the loop is complete.

Endoscopic hemorrhoid ligation

Procedure

The patient takes the left side decubitus position,the endoscope is connected with 6 serial ligators,the cup the sleeve is aligned with the base of the hemorrhoid (above the dentate line) for continuous negative pressure suction.The hemorrhoid enters the sleeve and sees a full-screen red sign. Turn the handle of the sleeve clockwise and feel that the loop is successfully triggered, the ligature is completed.

Primary outcomes

  1. complication

    Time frame: 7 days after operation

    Postoperative complications, such as dysuria, thrombotic external hemorrhoids, perianal abscess,and so on.

  2. clinical efficacy

    Time frame: 1 month after operation

    Complete disappearance of postoperative symptoms is regarded as a cure, postoperative symptoms relief is regarded as partial cure, and symptoms as same as before are considered ineffective.
