[Experience with sclerosing treatment in anorectal prolapse in childhood].
Since 1980 we applied to 6 infants of 1-4 years of age the sclerosing, perianal injection treatment with 0.5 per cent Ethoxysclerol (hydroxy--polyethoxy--dodecane) instead of the perianal cerclage according to Thiersch/Ombredanne. All the patients remained free from relapse for 1-2 years, after an injection treatment twice repeated at an interval of 5 days. Two to three days after the treatment all the infants were without symptoms, a major advantage with respect to the above-mentioned cerclage method. The details of the injection are described.
