This month we delve into High-Resolution Anoscopy (HRA), a milestone in the diagnosis and management of anal lesions. This advanced technique provides a detailed image of the anal mucosa, enabling healthcare professionals to identify lesions, inflammatory conditions, and neoplasms early on.
Proctological disorders are not limited to the physical impact alone but also involve the emotional and psychological side. Diseases such as haemorrhoids, anal fissures, fistulas, incontinence and prolapses can have a major impact on the life and mental health of patients. Let us analyse this important aspect!

Colorectal cancer is a tumour that forms in the tissues of the colon (the longest part of the large intestine) or rectum (the part of the large intestine closest to the anus). It is one of the most common cancers, particularly in the Western world, but mortality is decreasing thanks to prevention, screening and increasingly effective treatments.
The anal fissures are lacerations, or small linear cuts, which are formed at the border between the skin and the anal canal with a tendency to chronicize. Let’s see together the causes that lead to the onset of this pathology, the pains and related disorders, the diagnosis and available treatments.
