Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous superselective superior rectal artery embolization in the treatment of grades Ⅱ-Ⅲ internal hemorrhoids.Methods:The clinical data of 22 patients with grades Ⅱ-Ⅲ internal hemorrhoids who underwent superselective superior rectal artery embolization in the Department of Interventional and Minimally Invasive Tumor Therapy of the Second Hospital of Shandong University from September 2019 to February 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the blood supply artery of hemorrhoids, superselective embolization was performed with embolization materials. The surgical efficacy,postoperative complications,and 12-month follow-up results were analyzed. The clinical score data (French bleeding score,quality of life score,prolapse score) were expressed using the median ( Q1, Q3). The clinical scores before and after treatment were compared by the nonparametric rank sum test (Wilcoxon test),and the Z-value was calculated. P-values <0.05 indicate statistically significant differences. Results:The operation was successful in all 22 patients (technical success rate: 100%). The main postoperative side effects and complications included tenesmus (81.8%,18/22),anal bulge (68.2%,15/22),and mild pain in the anus (22.7%,5/22). The above reactions were improved 3-5 days after operation; three patients had congestion and dull pain at the puncture site,which improved spontaneously without treatment. The patients were followed up for 12 months. Compared with those prior to operation, the French bleeding score,quality of life score,and prolapse score were significantly improved (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Superselective superior rectal artery embolization is a relatively safe and low-risk treatment for grades Ⅱ-Ⅲ internal hemorrhoids. It is an option for the treatment of internal hemorrhoids,particularly hemorrhagic internal hemorrhoids.
