These guidelines aim to offer some therapeutic decision- making support based on the best scientific evidence available at the time; in other words they are to be taken as advisory rather than prescriptive rules. Therefore, they are not static but dynamic, susceptible to continual variations in concomitance with the introduction of new techniques and the accumulation of scientific evidence of their validity. The proposed guidelines are based essentially on close analysis of the international literature carried out by MedLine searches using the keyword hemorrhoids in association with hemorrhoidectomy, long-term results, randomized controlled trials, and stapler.

Abstract
These guidelines aim to offer some therapeutic decision- making support based on the best scientific evidence available at the time; in other words they are to be taken as advisory rather than prescriptive rules. Therefore, they are not static but dynamic, susceptible to continual variations in concomitance with the introduction of new techniques and the accumulation of scientific evidence of their validity. The proposed guidelines are based essentially on close analysis of the international literature carried out by MedLine searches using the keyword hemorrhoids in association with hemorrhoidectomy, long-term results, randomized controlled trials, and stapler.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
