The frequent recurrence of hemorrhoids after surgical treatment, on the one hand, and the reluctance of many patients to undergo surgery, on the other hand, lead to the search for non-bloody ways to treat this disease. Of these methods, physiotherapeutic methods (diathermy, electrocoagulation), Boas's method of coagulation injections (alcohol) and the method of fibrous (sclerosing) injections are widespread. The latter method is used mainly in France, and in the hands of Sicard, Gaugier and Bensade it gave very good results. Having acquainted with it for the first time at the beginning of 1926, at the clinic of Bensadey, I widely used it during 2 years, first at the hospital therapeutic clinic of Samara University, then at the hospital of Dorzdrav. The present report is the fruit of 2 years of observation over the results of such treatment.
