[A study on the use of ginkor in proctology (author's transl)].

Abstract

A total of 37 ambulatory patients with proctological conditions were treated with Ginkor as preparatory therapy before instrumental treatment (sclerosants or elastic ligatures). Greater importance was attached to its hemostatic activity; always objective though sometimes transitory, than to the improvement in various painful functional syndromes. Changes in hemorrhoidal morphology were not included in the assessment, as they demonstrate very little in the course of general treatment, except in bouts of acute inflammation and more particularly when oedema and thrombis occur. After treatment, the functional syndrome (heaviness, tenesmus) which was present in 29 patients was absent in 9 cases, reduced in 13, and unchanged in 7. Pruritus ani, which was present in 14 patients, was absent in 4 cases, reduced in 5, unchanged in 4, and impossible to evaluate in 1 case. Rectorrhagia disappeared in 12 out of 20 cases, was reduced in 4 cases, and persisted in 4 others. Overall, there were 12 very satisfactory results, 13 incomplete results, 3 moderate results, and 9 cases where no effect was noted.
