El Hospital de Dénia It has been two years since he incorporated into his portfolio of services the rectal arterial embolization to eliminate hemorrhoids. During this time excellent results have been obtained, since the recovery is immediate, without bleeding or postoperative complications.
It is a minimally invasive and painless technique that is performed in the operating rooms of Radiological Intervention. Consists of selectively embolizing the superior rectal arteries to decrease blood hyperflow in the hemorrhoidal cushions.
The technique known as Emborrhoid It is performed endovascularly, by puncture of the femoral artery. The latter accesses the distal branches of the superior rectal artery, which are embolized with metal coils called coils, which causes the interruption of the blood supply and, consequently, the cessation of hemorrhoidal bleeding.
Advantages
The main advantage is that it avoids manipulation and anorectal trauma, since it does not require a surgical incision. In this way it is possible to significantly reduce the complications associated with surgery (bleeding, daily cures, etc.). It is also less painful than traditional surgery and presents less convalescence, with the possibility of living a normal life the day after the test.
For the Chief of the Surgery Department, Dr. Juan José Arroyo, "The results are excellent and without major complications. However, the main indication of this technique are patients with bleeding internal hemorrhoids grade II-III, which present a risk for conventional surgery".
According to Dr. Abel Gregorio, specialist in Diagnostic Imaging, "In this process, the previous assessment by the surgeon, with recent analytics and anoscopy, is essential to establish the correct indications of the procedure and the successive controls. The results obtained to date guide Emborrhoid as an excellent alternative, safe and with high percentage of clinical success for this type of patients ".
