Core Tip	The clinical outcomes of endoscopic rubber band ligation (ERBL), injection sclerotherapy (IS), and endoscopic polidocanol sclerobanding (ESB) for treating grade I-III internal hemorrhoids have been limited in previous research. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of these three methods, revealing that all provided long-term clinical benefits for grade I hemorrhoids. For grade II-III hemorrhoids, ESB demonstrated superior outcomes, including lower recurrence rates and minimal postoperative pain compared with IS and ERBL.
