摘　　要：In the study,we comment on the article by Qu et al.Internal hemorrhoids are the most common anorectal disorders worldwide with bleeding,prolapse,and difficulty in defecation.Endoscopic rubber band ligation(ERBL)is a safe,convenient,quick,and economical outpatient procedure.The main goal of ERBL is to alleviate prolapse,but the high incidence of recurrence and post-procedural pain are of clinical concern.Polidocanol foam as a local hemostatic and anesthetic agent could reduce the rates of post-procedural pain and bleeding.Endoscopic polidocanol foam sclerobanding(EFSB)is a novel approach that could lift the mucosa for easy ligation and promote increased scarring in the submucosal tissue which translates into long-term relief from prolapse recurrence and reduced 24-h postprocedural pain.The study by Qu et al is a novel multi-center prospective randomized study to compare ERBL and EFSB in patients with grades II and III internal hemorrhoids with one-year follow-up.Results showed that EFSB is a novel therapy for internal hemorrhoids,but future studies with a larger sample,multiple treatment sessions,and long-term follow-up are required to confirm these findings.
