1 Krasnoyarsk State Medical University named after prof. Voyno-Yasenetsky Russia A. Zakharchenko E. Galkin Hemorrhoid Embolization Results: 5 years Experince
2 Alexander Zakharchenko, MD No relevant financial relationship reported
3 Method of treatment should be pathogenetically based, depend on the form of hemorrhoids (acute / chronic), stage of disease and clinical manifestations
4 How to treat? The three graces. Rubens. Introduce the traditional approach to the treatment of hemorrhoids: Medicamentous Therapy (MT) Acute hemorrhoids Early stage of chronic hemorrhoids Perioperative period (I-IV stage) Minimal Invasive Instrumental Treatment (MIIT) Sclerotherapy Latex ligation ST MT MIIT HAL-RAR Surgery Treatment (ST) Hemorrhoidopexy by Longo Hemorrhoidectomy
5 How to treat? Bathing girl. Renoir. Her youth and freshness represents a new concept in the treatment of hemorrhoids: Embolization of internal hemorrhoids Emborrhoid technique
6 To date great clinical interest is the method of Embolization of internal hemorrhoids (EIH) А B Emborrhoid technique А an imbalance between arterial inflow and venous outflow prior to EIH B correct the imbalance between arterial inflow and venous outflow after EIH
7 The history of the method of EIH E. Galkin the founder of the method, the first experience of clinical use in Russia (994). Galkin EV. Interventional radiology of chronic hemorrhoids [in Russian].

8 The principal novelty of the method required a study on is safety, effectiveness and clinical outcomes? Questions What is the impact of ischemia: on the mucosa of the rectum? on the function of the sphincter of the rectum? on the cavernous tissue of internal hemorrhoids? What happens clinically?
9 Research methods Morphology and morphometry of the mucosa of the rectum Sphincterometry and electrical activity of the sphincter of the rectum Morphology of the cavernous tissue of internal hemorrhoids Microcirculation in the internal hemorrhoids and internodal space Dynamics of change in the size of internal hemorrhoids (retro flexion rectoscopy) The timing of the disappearance of the symptoms of hemorrhoids (bleeding, prolapse) Clinical assessment of immediate and long-term results

25 Indications for EIH Method is not a panacea has a definite place among the known methods of treatment chronic hemorrhoids Chronic hemorrhoids I-II stage and partially stage III*, with recurrent bleeding of varying intensity The recurrence of hemorrhoids after traditional minimally invasive interventions and hemorrhoidectomy Somatic contraindications to hemorrhoidectomy Temporary stop hemorrhoidal bleeding with severe anemia (stage III- IV) the preliminary stage of preparation for hemorrhoidectomy, allowing up to operation to restore the volume of circulating blood to eliminate anemia * - episodic prolapse IH: the patient s motivation fear of negative phenomena transanal intervention
26 Conclusion EIH modern pathogenetically based method of treatment of chronic hemorrhoids I-II and partially III stage: Leads to reduction of arterial inflow to the internal hemorrhoids and reduce them in size 2 times, with subsequent sclerosis = regression symptoms of bleeding and prolapse nodes Minimally invasive (atraumatic in pathological area) with the maximum possible radicalism, comfortable for patients Chortens the period of hospitalization and disability, reduces the number of relapses Quite effective and safe
