THE CHOICE OF TREATMENT IN PATIENTS WITH HEMORRHOIDAL DISEASE (THE RESULTS OF THE OBSERVATIONAL PROGRAM RE-VISION)

Abstract

AIM: analysis of approaches to the treatment of different stages of hemorrhoids to clarify what factors provides the choice of a method of treatment modality.PATIENTS AND METHODS: the study is based on the analysis of clinical and instrumental examination of 804 patients with stage I-IV hemor-rhoids. It included 412 (51.2%) females aged 19-83 (44.8±13.2) years. RESULTS: micronized purified flavonoid fraction (MPFF) in combination with dietary fiber intake and topical treatment effectively reduces the severity of the main clinical manifestations of hemorrhoids. Due to this, in 200 (24.8%) cases of stage I-IV hemorrhoids, doctors chose conservative treatment in connection with the achieved positive clinical effect. The combination of systemic phlebotropic therapy (MPFF) with minimally invasive and surgery was carried out in 355(44.2%) and 249 (31.0%) cases of stage II-IV hemorrhoids, respectively. Minimally invasive procedures were performed in patients with a minimal changes of external hemorrhoidal piles. In 210 (54.7%) cases, surgery was performed in patients with a significant changes of external hemorrhoidal piles.CONCLUSION: multimodal treatment of hemorrhoids with the use of MPFF, shows its effectiveness for elimination of the main clinical manifesta-tions of the disease in hemorrhoids stage I-II. Patients with stage III and IV hemorrhoids require the use of a minimally invasive procedures and excisional surgery. The choice of the method is influenced not only by the hemorrhoid stage, but also by the anatomical features. The use of MPFF allows to remove the acute changes and to select an optimal method of minimally invasive or surgical procedure individually.
