Summary

Hemorrhoids consist of a tissue rich in blood vessels and are present in all individuals inside the anus. Hemorrhoidal disease (HD) is when hemorrhoids become troublesome and cause symptoms such as pain, bleeding, prolapse or seepage.

The first steps in the treatment of HD involve either drugs or instrumental gestures (sclerosis, ligation). In the event of failure or of a disease that is significant from the outset, it is possible to envisage a surgical treatment.

The use of a radiofrequency is a new technique, already used frequently by vascular surgeons in the treatment of varicose veins of the lower limbs. This technique has been developed for radiofrequency destruction of hemorrhoidal vascular tissue.

In France, no studies have been carried out to evaluate this new technique.

PROCEDURE

Radiofrewuency surgery

The research procedure consists of radiofrequency destruction of hemorrhoidal vascular tissue. It consists in delivering a 4 MHz radiofrequency wave current delivered at low temperature by microfibre electrodes using a large disposable needle within the hemorrhoidal vascular tissue
