An observational study in Hemorrhoid Prolapse, sponsored by Fondation Hôpital Saint-Joseph. Recruiting at 1 site in France. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-03-12.
Sponsored by Fondation Hôpital Saint-Joseph · Observational
Triapedicular haemorroidectomy is currently the gold standard in haemorrhoidal pathology. Minimally invasive surgical techniques now play an important role in the haemorrhoidal management algorithm, particularly for less advanced stages of the disease. Among these techniques, radiofrequency is one of the most recent and is gradually gaining ground. It involves applying a radiofrequency current to the internal haemorrhoidal tissue in order to induce its involution.
The literature has shown that this technique leads to symptomatic improvement in over 60% of cases and a high satisfaction rate, even though some patients still seem to have haemorrhoidal symptoms postoperatively.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of this technique in patients with haemorrhoidal pathology operated on at our centre, using "hard" criteria which are thought to be more rigorous ("cure" rather than "improvement").
238 studies on the registry are indexed under Hemorrhoids; 73 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 80 is below the median of 151 across 49 observational studies indexed under Hemorrhoids.

Patient suffering for Haemorroidal pathology and requiring a removal procedure to whom a Radiofrequency procedure was performed
Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.
Exclusion Criteria:
haemorrhoidal removal using radiofrequency
Evaluation of radiofrequency treatment efficiency
Assessement of the procedure efficiency on prolapsus (using Goligher Score) and bleeding (using Haemorrhoidal bleeding score). Procedure is considered efficient when Goligher Score =1 AND HBS = 0
Time frame: 3 months post procedure
Measurement of patient satisfaction after surgery
Patient will be asked : 1. would you recommand this procedure to a friend ? (yes or no) 2. Knowing your personnal outcome would you undergo the same procedure again ? (yes or no) Patients are considered satisfied by the procedure when they answered yes to at least one of the questions.
Time frame: 3 months post procedure
Incidence rate of procedure complication
incidence rate of haemorrhagic complication or acute urinary retention or other complication (such as post surgery abcess, localized infection, haematoma)
Time frame: 3 months post procedure
description of procedure complication
Time frame: 3 months post procedure
Identification of predictive factor for success
pre-procedure parameters will be correlated with procedure success (Goligher Score =1 AND HBS = 0 after procedure) in order to identify which factors give a higher chance of success
Time frame: 3 months post procedure
