A study involving 195 patients revealed that cap-assisted endoscopic polidocanol foam sclerobanding (EFSB) significantly reduced hemorrhoid severity scores (HSS) compared to endoscopic rubber band ligation (ERBL) at eight weeks. While post-procedural pain was notably lower in the EFSB group, long-term satisfaction and effective relief from recurrence of prolapse and pain were also achieved 24 hours post-procedure. Thus, EFSB presents a promising alternative for managing symptomatic grade II-III internal hemorrhoids.
