[Proctoscopic Doppler ultrasound in diagnosis and therapy of symptomatic first degree hemorrhoids ].

Within the framework of a prospective study two comparable collectives with each 62 patients and symptomatic first grade hemorrhoidal disease were examined. Guiding symptom was painless hematochezia. The hemorrhoids of collective A were evaluated with the aid of transproctoscopic Doppler ultrasound. The depth of the vessels was determined and a Doppler located injection therapy was performed. The patients of collective B were only investigated by means of proctoscopy and sclerosed without Doppler. Sclerosing injection was carried out in all cases with 6 ml Phenylamygdalic oil by 3, 7 and 11 o'clock lithotomy position. Success of therapy was controlled in all patients 2 weeks later Doppler sonographically. In 87% of the Doppler controlled treated patients the hemorrhoids were completely eliminated and no more arterial blood flow could be scanned. On the contrary only 37% of the initially not Doppler scanned patients were cured. Endoscopic Doppler ultrasound is and effective method in evaluation and treatment of symptomatic first grade hemorrhoids.
