About this trial
Patients who will undergo surgery for HD after the diagnosis of IBD over a 12-month period will be enrolled across Europe.
Primary objective of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of surgical treatments for HD in a large multicenter cohort of IBD patients.
Secondary aim is to identify factors that may affect clinical and surgical outcomes.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Safety and effectiveness of surgical treatments for hemorrhoidal disease
Data on patient demographics and clinical characteristics, operative details, and clinical and surgical outcomes will be collected. The surgical outcomes will include: length of hospital stay, 30-day readmission, and post-operative complications at medium- (6 months) and long-term (12 months) follow-up. The clinical outcomes will include: IBD flare, defined according to standard scores (i.e., partial Mayo score for ulcerative colitis and Harvey-Bradshaw Index for Crohn's disease) and need for therapeutic change or dose escalation during the 6 months after surgery, new onset of perianal disease, anal continence status at last follow-up.
