1. ISUCRS & ESCP Audit on Office-Based and Surgical Treatment of Haemorrhoids
The International Society of University Colon & Rectal Surgeons (ISUCRS) in collaboration with European Society of Coloproctology (ESCP) are currently conducting an audit concerning office-based and surgical treatment of haemorrhoids.
This snap-shot audit will provide a superb opportunity to generate large dataset on haemorrhoids treatment possibilities and their outcomes without many of the hurdles of performing a randomized controlled trial (RCT), and at a fraction of the cost and time investment.
The objective of the audit is to explore variabilities in the office-based and surgical management of haemorrhoids.
We invite you to take part in this snapshot audit by including patients with haemorrhoids treated over one month period (starting from 1st April EXTENDED to Monday 30th September) with a follow up of two months.
I hope that you will be kind enough to take a few minutes of your busy schedule and other pressing obligations to take part.
Participating investigators will be registered for publication as ISUCRS in collaboration with ESCP Collaborators Haemorrhoids Participating Investigator Group If you have any further questions or comments, please email us at research@isucrs.org.
