Abstract: Our study clearly demonstrates that the use of Nifedipine, which at present is for treatment of cardiovascular disorders, should be extended to the conservative treatment of acute thrombosed haemorrhoids, using a topical application.

“…Concern about incorporation of smooth muscle in the ring of tissue removed may have few consequences for the majority of patients [66], but show the potential for catastrophic complications if a leak from the staple line results. Rectal perforation and rectovaginal fistulae have been reported [23], and a survey of 4,635 stapled haemorrhoid procedures in Germany found 3 rectal perforations and 1 death from Fournier’s gangrene [67]. Bleeding complications are thought to be fewer with the stapled technique, and anal stenosis and stricture do not appear to be a particular complication of the stapled haemorrhoidopexy [63].…”

“…Ademais, o uso de nitratos e bloqueadores de canal de cálcio, dentre estes a nifedipina tópica, também relaciona-se com menor dor no pós-operatório, menor necessidade de uso de analgésicos e melhor cicatrização. A limitação ao uso da nitroglicerina tópica é a cefaleia decorrente do seu uso 1,4,5,10,11 . No estudo em questão, observou-se uma diminuição da dor pós-operatória, de acordo com a escala visual utilizada, além de menor uso da medicação analgésica comum e potente e menor dose medicamentosa necessária para alívio desta, nos períodos avaliados, quando comparamos o uso combinado de nifedipina 0,3% e metronidazol 10% tópico em relação a nifedipina 0,3% tópica isolada.…”

“…Hemorroidas são plexos vasculares internos e externos, cobertos por mucosa, localizado no espaço submucoso do canal anal, acima ou abaixo da linha denteada, respectivamente, e são parte da anatomia normal do ser humano 1,2 . O tratamento cirúrgico destas vem diminuindo com o passar dos anos em virtude do avanço no tratamento não-operatório, que consiste em medidas clínicas e procedimentos ambulatoriais menores, como a ligadura elástica.…”
