Treatment Options

For most anorectal conditions several treatment options exist. Each has its own indications, advantages and limitations, and none is universally suitable.

Conservative management

Diet, bowel habit regulation and medical treatment are the first step in many conditions and are often sufficient in early stages.

Procedural and surgical options

Office procedures for selected early-stage hemorrhoids
Laser-assisted techniques in selected hemorrhoid, fistula and pilonidal cases
Sphincter-preserving fistula techniques where anatomy allows
Conventional excisional surgery when indicated

Comparing options
