Abstract:

Hemorrhoidal disease is the most common anorectal condition, with internal hemorrhoids being the predominant subtype.Since the establishment of the Internal Hemorrhoid Diagnosis and Treatment Collaboration Group under the Digestive Endoscopy Branch of the Chinese Medical Association in 2019, minimally invasive endoscopic treatment for internal hemorrhoids has developed rapidly with the promotion of numerous clinical endoscopists.In recent years, the multifaceted advantages of this technique have been well demonstrated, and it has been gradually implemented at various levels of medical institutions across China.In 2021, the Collaboration Group released the Chinese Guidelines and Expert Consensus on Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Diagnosis and Treatment of Internal Hemorrhoids (2021), which systematically clarified the clinical value of endoscopic treatment for internal hemorrhoids, established a standardized operational framework, and provided a solid theoretical basis for clinical practice.As the technique has become more widely adopted, endoscopists have encountered a number of practical issues in daily practice that call for further refinement and clarification.In 2024, the Internal Hemorrhoid Collaboration Group of the Digestive Endoscopy Branch of the Chinese Medical Association convened experts to discuss and update the previous consensus, resulting in the Expert Consensus on Minimally Invasive Endoscopic Treatment of Internal Hemorrhoids (Guangzhou, 2025), hereinafter referred to as "the Consensus". This Consensus proposes a new endoscopic classification for internal hemorrhoids, namely the PBR classification, and updates several key aspects, including endoscopic sclerotherapy for internal hemorrhoids and the management of postoperative complications.On this basis, in order to further refine and standardize endoscopic sclerosing agent injection for internal hemorrhoids-particularly with respect to technical details, perioperative management, and the handling of postoperative complications-the Hemorrhoid Working Group of the Digestive Endoscopy Branch of the Cross-Strait Medicine and Health Exchange Association organized 69 nationally recognized experts in 2025 to conduct extensive discussion and ultimately formulate the present Consensus.The aim is to standardize the application of sclerosing agent injection in the treatment of internal hemorrhoids.The Consensus is composed of 13 sections and addresses 19 clinical questions with corresponding recommendations.
