Infrared photocoagulation of hemorrhoids.
Twenty five patients with grade one and grade two bleeding internal hemorrhoids were treated with infrared photocoagulation. This study did not compare the different methods of treatment, however the results do support the contention that infrared photocoagulation is an effective, safe method of treatment for low grade bleeding internal hemorrhoids.
