[Sclerosing treatment with ethoxysclerol in anal prolapse in children].

In 1980 we began the perianal injection treatment in children with anorectal prolapse. We can now report on 31 patients. In 1982 we reported on our first experiences with 6 children. We treat the children in hospital and inject aethoxysklerol mostly twice at an interval of three days. On the whole there were two relapses, both children were over 6 years old. A second injection treatment with the same method was again unsuccessful. In relation to the perianal cerclage according to Thiersch-Ombrédanne - the method we used before - the injection treatment gives almost only advantages: Simple technique, shorter hospitalisation, fast healing without burdening the patients, no complications.
