Nonoperative treatment of hemorrhoids. Boas (on ref. Vr. G., 1927, no. 23)

Based on the material of 200 cases, he recommends the following method of nonoperative treatment of hemorrhoids: on the eve of the day of the injection the patient's bowels are cleaned with laxatives and enema; 1/2 hour before the injection morphine with atropine is injected under the skin; then 50 cc of novocaine solution is injected into the rectum. 1/2% Novocaine solution; a Bier's jar is placed against the patient's anus, in the lap and elbow position, and suction is made until the nodes protrude. After that, 0.5 to 1 to 2 cc of absolute alcohol is injected into each node (necessarily for each node with a special needle), the nodes are repaired as quickly as possible with the fingers, and the patient is prescribed bed rest and liquid food, and on the 3rd day a laxative (magnesia or bitter water) is given.
