    Abstract

    Improvements in our understanding of the anatomy of haemorrhoids have prompted the development of new and innovative methods of treatment. Conservative treatment consists of dietary and lifestyle modifications. Standard interventional procedures in outpatient treatment are injection sclerotherapy and rubber band ligation. Among the surgical options for prolapsed haemorrhoids, formal haemorrhoidectomy now competes with stapled haemorrhoidopexy, which is less painful and allows shorter convalescence but may have a higher recurrence rate and needs further long-term evaluation.
