Abstract

The main milestones in the formation and development of proctology as an independent discipline in surgery are briefly covered. The merits of outstanding scientists in improving methods of treating proctological diseases for more than 200 years are noted. Little-known facts from the history of surgery for acute hemorrhoids are presented. The evolution of views from the origins to the present day in the treatment of acute hemorrhoids is analyzed. Throughout the 19th century, major scientific articles and monographs were published by both domestic and foreign authors, conferences and congresses were held on diseases of the rectum and anus, with a significant place devoted to the study of acute hemorrhoids, especially its surgical treatment. It is noted that the relevance of the topic has grown over the decades and attracted more and more researchers both in our country and abroad.
