Fifty four patients who received closed hemorrhoidectomy were randomized into two parallel groups and treated with Venitol(R)(a micronized flavonoidic fraction containing diosmin 450 mg and hesperidin 50 mg) (group 1) or placebo (group 2). Venitol(R) was administered at the dosage of three toblets b.i.d. the first four days and two tablets b.i.d following three days. Postoperative analgesia and laxative prescription as well as hospital stay were same in two groups. Though there is no difference of symptoms at D1, improvement of symptoms of complications was greater in group 1 than in group 2 at D18. The clinical severity of postoperative spot-bleeding, pain and anal discharge diminished in both groups but to a greater extent in group 1 (P<0.005). There was no side-effects in using Venitol(R). In summary, Venitol(R) is effective in reducing complications after hemorrhoidectomy.

In the classical ballet dancers, ankle joints are frequently overused. Especially the Pointe and the Releve are the two basic steps of ballet dance which cause the narrowing of the posterior aspect of the ankle joint. Posterior impingement syndrome of the ankle joint is defined as impingement occuring at the anatomical interval between the posterior tibial articular surface and os calcis. The purpose of this study is to describe the anatomy and etiology of this injury and to review the non-operative and operative treatments. Sixteen cases of posterior impingment syndrome had been treated between March 1994 and March 1995. Ten dancers were professional and six were students. The patients was divided 3groups by etiologic factor. Group 1 is anatomical problem factor, Group 2 is overuse factor and Group 3 is ankle sprain factor. Thirteen dancers (81.2%) improved with conservative treatment including local steroid injection. Among the other three dancers, operation was performed in one case. The other two cases stopped dancing. The result was good in one dancer after operation. In the classic ballet dancers, posrerior impingement syndrome was frequent disorder and major etiologic factors are anatomical problem and overuse. Operation was necessary in only group l. It is good result in conservative treatment and operation.
